France’s Canal+ has acquired seasons one and two of CG-animated series Noodle and Bun from South Africa’s Polycat.

Targeting kids ages six to 12, Noodle and Bun is a comedy-driven, dialogue-free concept that follows the adventures of a cat (Noodle) who constantly causes trouble and gets into misadventures on a farm with a nervous pug (Bean) and a brave little mouse (Bun). 

Canal+ is the first broadcaster to acquire season two of the series (13 x five minutes), which is currently in production. Meanwhile, season one (13 x three minutes) just wrapped, and will deliver soon to YLE (Finland), Filmin (Spain and Portugal), Megogo (Ukraine) and Kidoodle.TV. Emirates, Virgin Atlantic, Air France and Aegean Airlines also picked up season one for their in-flight entertainment services.

As part of a promotional strategy for the show, Noodle recently appeared as a contestant in a real-time animated episode of France’s Got Talent, with Bean cheering his pal on as a spectator. The characters will similarly guest-star in the competition format’s UK (ITV) and US (NBC) versions, according to a release.

Monster Entertainment handles distribution rights for Noodle and Bun worldwide.
