Rounding out the deals, Nueve Media has scooped up 6teen, Blazing Dragons, Grossology, Jane and the Dragon, Nancy Drew, Scaredy Squirrel and Sidekick for the Southern Cone, while Television Entertainment has acquired the rights to season one of Berenstain Bears and book-based series George Shrinks for several Latin American territories.
