Meanwhile, Nickelodeon in Ukraine and the Baltic states, Canal Panda in Portugal and Tooniverse in South Korea have picked up pay-TV rights to the toon, which is coproduced by Imira Entertainment, fellow Spanish firm Televisió de Catalunya and Rai Fiction in Italy.

Lucky Fred has now been sold to networks in more than 160 territories, including France’s TF1 and Disney channels across the world.

The toon follows the comic adventures of an ordinary 13-year-old boy who accidentally becomes the owner of a shape-shifting robot.
