CPGL Wins National Geographic’s “Mama Mirabelle’s Home Movies”

National Geographic Kids has signed CPLG as the rights agency for “Mama Mirabelle’s Home Movies” in the U.K., France and Benelux. The children’s program airs twice daily on CBeebies and is shown on VRT in Belgium, Tiji in France and will launch on Gulli France early in 2009.

Celebrating the comedy, drama and gentle wisdom of the animal kingdom, the show combines 2D animation with live-action footage from the National Geographic and the BBC archives.

“Mama Mirabelle and her cast of adorable animals will appeal to a wide audience,” says Vickie O’Malley, managing director of CPLG. "With CBeebies’ backing and National Geographic Kids’ commitment to exciting kids about their world, we cannot wait to initiate licensing and merchandising opportunities for ‘Mama Mirabelle’s Home Movies.’”

“Mama Mirabelle’s Home Movies” has been created as a National Geographic Kids Entertainment, CBeebies and King Rollo Films co-production. Worldwide distribution is being handled by National Geographic Television International, the wholly-owned subsidiary of National Geographic, which to date has sold “Mama Mirabelle’s Home Movies” in 142 territories.
