Zodiak Kids and Fantawild form Tiger Team

MIPJUNIOR: Zodiak Kids, Banijay Group’s children’s arm, is to co-develop and produce a show based on bestselling book series Tiger Team with Chinese animation outfit Fantawild Animation.

The author of the books, Thomas Brezina, had previously partnered with Zodiak Kids through his Austrian prodco Tower 10 to realise the TV series.

Tiger Team follows the adventures of three young detectives as they travel to wide-ranging locations solving cases. The book series has sold 30 million copies worldwide with over 100 editions published for 24 different languages. Fantawild holds the IP of more than 20 animation titles, which have been distributed to more than 100 countries.

“In Fantawild we have found a great partner to work with to bring Tiger Team to life,” said Jean-Philippe Randisi, CEO of Zodiak Kids. “The Tiger Team books have already achieved massive success with audiences in China and it feels a natural fit to produce the series from there.”

Zodiak recently picked up the TV distribution rights for CBeebies preschool show Tee & Mo, produced by UK firm Plug-In Media.
