British distributor Meta Media has closed several new sales for preschool series Who Who (26 x seven minutes, pictured) from Croatian studio Recircle.
Qatari broadcaster beIN and RTV Slovenia will both launch the 2D toon in their respective territories later this year, and Ceska Televize started airing it in Czech Republic in January.
Who Who notably won the 2019 MIPJunior Best Pitch competition and was commissioned the following year by Croatian public broadcaster HRT. It has also been acquired by DeAJunior in Italy and US-based Spanish-language broadcaster Vme TV.
The series revolves around a five-year-old owl who lives in a train station and meets new visitors everyday, often helping them out of tricky fixes that stem from social-emotional challenges.
Simon Rolph (Wussywat the Clumsy Cat) is Who Who‘s co-creator and head writer, and the production was financially supported by the Croatian Audiovisual Centre (HAVC), capital city Zagreb and Creative Europe MEDIA.
