Decode continues pre-school drive

Canada's Decode Entertainment is making further forays into the pre-school animation market with a new toon series Franny's Feet, as well as picking up a new 2D series.

Franny's Feet (26×30' or 78×7'), is an animated series that follows the antics of five-year-old Franny and her magical feet. Each time the girl tries on new shoes she finds herself carried away on a magical foot-related adventure.

The Toronto-based outfit has also acquired worldwide distribution rights to digital toon Olliver's Adventures.

Produced by Collideascope Digital Productions for Teletoon Canada and targeted at kids 7-11, the 26×30' series follows Ollie, a six-year-old boy intent on overcoming the problems that life throws at him, including bullies and older sisters.

Decode will also be offering Girl's Stuff/Boy's Stuff on its Natpe slate. Examining the different responses of boys and girls to the same events, the 52×11' animated series is co-produced by Decode, UK's Animus and Hong Kong's Animation Services and is aimed at 8-11-year-olds.
