Disney’s animated adventurers Boris & Rufus head to London’s Media Pioneers

Animated comedy series Boris & Rufus

London-based distributor The Media Pioneers has acquired international distribution rights to the first two seasons of Disney-commissioned animated comedy series Boris & Rufus.

Produced by Brazil’s Pacotinho Filmes and Belli Studio, Boris & Rufus is a 2D animation series with a sci-fi twist that follows the adventures of a dog and ferret.

Aimed at six- to 10-year-olds, the series airs on Disney Channel Latam and Disney Channel Russia, as well as Televisa, SBT Play in Brazil and Amazon Prime Video.

The Media Pioneers will distribute Boris & Rufus in key territories across EMEA and Asia. The company is also looking for more shows aimed at children aged six-plus and said it is “open to producers from all over the world to submit their shows.”
