French producer/distributor Dandelooo has acquired worldwide sales rights to 2D-animated series Our Piggy from Prague-based Bionaut Animation (Hungry Bear Tales).

Currently in the final stages of production, the 52 x two-minute series is based on author Jaromir Plachy’s illustrated books Our Piggy Again and This Is Our Piggy. It targets kids ages two to four and stars a curious little pig who transforms objects around him into toys and friends.

Bionaut will wrap up the project later this month so that it’s ready to present at MIPCOM in October. Our Piggy‘s focus on keeping things simple is appropriate for the preschool demo and makes it a good fit for Dandelooo’s portfolio, said co-founder Emmanuèle Pétry Sirvin in a release.

Jaromír Plachý is the series creator, with Vratislav Šlajer exec producing and Bára Příkaská producing.

Dandelooo is also bringing 52 x one-minute short series Billy the Cowboy Hamster to MIPCOM, and it has started production on The Upside Down River (eight x 26 minutes), a children’s series based on a novel by Jean Claude Mourlevat; and preschool yoga series Loguis. It also recently announced a new co-production deal with Spain’s Teidees for 2D-animated series  A Day with the Dogs, which Dandelooo will distribute globally.
