APC Kids, the children’s entertainment arm of leading production and distribution group APC Studios, has boarded brand new preschool edutainment series Nitso and The Very Hairy Alphabet (26 x 7′), produced by Eagle Eye Filmproduktion in co-production with KIKA and GS Animation. APC Kids will debut the show internationally at MIFA in June and the series will later air on KIKA.
Nitso and The Very Hairy Alphabet tells the adventures of fuzzy little Yeti Monster, Nitso, who has recently become keen on learning the letters of the alphabet. At the beginning of every episode, Nitso opens his ABC Book to show the viewers a new letter to be learned, but every time the letter suddenly “vanishes” in all sorts of surprising ways. Luckily, Madame Tebahpla, the wisest of the wise, is always there, ready to help our little curious friend find the lost letter.
Headed by Lionel Marty, the kids’ specialist branch has a growing portfolio of high-profile children’s and family properties including animated series Kid-E-Cats, Jade Armor, Isadora Moon, DinoCity, Galactic Agency, Fox and Hare, Hello Maestro and live-action for tweens Tinka. APC Kids also houses its own production company Zephyr.
Lionel Marty, Managing Director of APC Kids, said:
Edutainment for young children has always been the backbone of preschool schedules around the world and we are excited to introduce Nitso to children and their carers as a fun concept for kids around the world to develop their vocabulary in English as well as for English-speakers to learn the alphabet.
