Jetpack Distribution picks Flora from Birdo Studios ahead of Annecy pitch

UK-based kids’ and family distributor Jetpack Distribution has acquired the rights to animated botanical comedy preschool series Flora, which is currently in development.

2D animation Flora

Produced by Brazil’s Birdo Studios, Flora (52×11’) is a 2D animation targeting four- to seven-year-olds and will be pitched to broadcasters at Annecy next week, where it has been selected for the MIFA Campus. Jetpack is looking for pre-sales and coproduction partners.

A comedy about growing up in the botanical world, where becoming an adult may take centuries, Flora centres on a small seed who believes she can grow into any plant she wants and is determined to prove that to everyone.

The series aims to show kids how cool it is to be a plant, using funny botanical metaphors to create relatable stories that cover emotions, self-discovery and the infinite potential of each of us.

Jetpack’s CEO, Dominic Gardiner, said: “Flora is such a brilliant addition to our preschool line-up for MIFA 2022. The show features outstanding design of a unique world. It’s fun and relatable and teaches kids about self-discovery and the various emotions encountered growing up.”
