Superights will act as global distributor for new educational preschool series Sullivan Sails (26×7’), produced by Distillery Films and ALT Animation.
Sullivan Sails was commissioned by Irish children’s free-to-air television RTÉJr and Italy’s KidsMe, the Children Content Factory of DeAgostini Group, and was funded by Screen Ireland / Fís Éireann and Northern Ireland Screen. Superights will represent worldwide rights excluding Italy and Ireland.
Sullivan Sails is a 2D animated series for children aged 3 to 5. It encourages a love of adventure, exploration and imagination in young audiences, while introducing them to incredible facts about the natural world. Beautiful and inspiring, Sullivan Sails teaches children important information about our natural world while encouraging isolated play and tolerance.
The series is in production and will be delivered in 2023.
Jonathan Clarke, founder of Distillery Films says “we are thrilled to have Superights as our partner to take this series we are so proud of out to the world, where it can bolster kids’ confidence in their capacity to influence positive change and improvement in the environment while providing an antidote to the sometimes scary world we find ourselves living in. Their expertise and success in the international kids’ space will be invaluable for Sullivan Sails to reach the greatest number of children.”
Nathalie Pinguet, Deputy General Manager at Superights agrees that “this charming and adventurous series is colorful, creative and globally diverse, making it a perfect and complimentary addition to our existing slate of children’s program offerings. Learning about our natural world has never been more important, and we are confident that young audiences will delight in Sullivan Sails.”
