Broadcast Package
2021-2022

We've been toiling away for the better part of a year on a broadcast package for Cartoon Network's newly launched preschool block: Cartoonito.

We developed a cast of characters with the team at Cartoon Network, and took them on adventures of all kinds via many dozens of little spots, and all of the little broadcast bits and pieces that surround their wonderful preschool programming.

 
 

Little pals for our little pals.

We had the cutest time (ever) developing a group of 4 characters to chaperone pre-schoolers through the world of Cartoonito: Itty, Wedge, Glob and Nito.

 
 

 Wedge is…

… cautious. They represent COURAGE.

Itty is…

… the baby. They are positive and represent CARING.

 

Nito is…

… a natural leader. They represent CURIOSITY.

Glob is…

… always changing! They can change shapes and represent CREATIVITY.

 

We went on over 65 adventures together -

 

We learned about music and crafts.

 

We learned about the seasons, and all of their celebrations and weather.

We went on big adventures, and met all kinds of animals along the way.

 
 

All the broadcast bits -

 
 
 

Nito in the wild.

We’ve had the pleasure of seeing our lil buds show up in all kinds of unexpected and wonderful places!
