Titles include Hana’s Helpline, Sali Mali and Shakespeare The Animated Tales.
The commercial arm of kids production company Hoho Entertainment – Hoho Rights – has acquired Welsh broadcaster S4C’s animation back catalogue.
The acquisition significantly boosts the ambitious company’s portfolio, with titles including Hana’s Helpline (pictured), non-dialogue claymation sitcom Gogs and Sali Mali.
In addition, the slate also includes a selection of animation classics such as the Emmy award winning Shakespeare The Animated Tales and Animated Tales of the World among others.
Hoho Rights will be talking to broadcasters about the catalogue at MIPCOM this month.
Helen Howells, joint md at Hoho, said: “This is something of a personal passion for me. I worked at S4C and I’m therefore very familiar with many of these title and they are as fresh and relevant now as they ever were.
“Classics are evergreen. And the rise of VOD and other on-demand services presents a great opportunity to breathe new life into these much-loved tales and adaptations.”
