The deal with Warner Bros. Discovery was signed by Meta Media Entertainment, the worldwide exclusive distributor of Apple Hills and follows the successful launch of Season 1 (20 x 5’) of the series in Denmark last year.
Thomas Borch-Nielsen, Producer at Nice Ninja says:
“Apple Hills” is strongly influenced by all the slapstick comedy series that we have grown up with on Cartoon Network. So, we are more than proud that “Apple Hills” will launch on the Cartoon Network YouTube channel. I hope that kids around the world will enjoy Trafalgar and Pulver’s crazy adventures as much as we have while animating them.
Apple Hills was launched on DR in September 2023 and became the 3rd ranking kids show in Denmark within 6 weeks. Within the first month of launching on DR’s Kid VOD platform ”Ramasjang” the series was watched 6.5 million times, which is equivalent to every Danish kid in the target group 5-10 years watching each episode more than once. Season 2 of Apple Hills (20 x 6’) is in production and will be delivered in Q1 2025.
Apple Hills is a small town. In fact, it’s so small and insignificant, it has been removed from Google Maps. The only thing that stands out is a polluting concrete factory. But if you look closely, you will discover two small kids – Trafalgar and Pulver. They are experts at surviving boredom since their solutions to everyday relatable problems often take a wild and unpredictable turn for the worse!
Zia Sands, Director Content Acquisitions, Partnerships and Coproductions, Warner Bros. Discovery, Kids, EMEA, added:
Cartoon Network is synonymous with comedy, creativity, and irreverence, all of which were themes we saw in “Apple Hills”. We hope our audience will be entertained and inspired by how Trafalgar and Pulver conquer the mundane, with surprising and often wild adventures.
Sara Cooper, Founder of Meta Media Entertainment, says:
We are delighted to be working with the Warner Discovery EMEA Kids team to launch the superb “Apple Hills” series on the prestigious Cartoon Network YouTube channel. It is a great start to 2025, which I am sure will see continued success for this riotous comedy.
