Aimed at children aged 4-6 years old, What’s Up Eesha? (52 x 11’) was developed by TeamTO in association with France Télévisions and directed by Loic Espuche. The 3D series is based on the original characters, and narrative world created by author Jean Gourounas. The storylines were adapted from Gourounas’ series of popular children’s books published by L’Atelier du Poisson Soluble.
Under the distribution agreement Dandelooo will handle the worldwide rights for the series, excluding French-speaking Europe, Italian-speaking Europe including Switzerland, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, which will remain with TeamTO.
What’s up Eesha? follows the adventures of Eesha, a clever and creative little penguin with a vivid imagination. Eesha loves to immerse herself in various activities. She also has some very loud and energetic friends that follow her everywhere she goes. And who can blame them? This occasionally challenges Eesha’s patience, but her friends’ ideas and plans end up making her projects even more spectacular than she could have imagined…so everyone wins in the end!
Emmanuèle Pétry, Producer & Head of International at Dandelooo, commented:
Eesha is one of the most sensitive and funny penguin girls I’ve ever met. We are extremely honored that our longtime friends at TeamTO have chosen Dandelooo as their global distributor. Thanks to the wonderful talent of Loic Espuche, we believe this new enchanting series will become a huge hit.
Corinne Kouper, SVP Development and Production at TeamTO added:
I especially love how this show highlights the importance of creativity, patience and flexibility in the face of change – as well as its amazingly colourful and fun animation.
