DEALS: Boat Rocker Studios blasts off with Rocket Club

Meanwhile, Converse is doubling down on Bluey with a custom kids shoe service, and Handicraft signs up to make crochet kits based on preschool series Sam & Julie.
October 9, 2025
  • Boat Rocker Studios has acquired worldwide distribution rights to Icon Creative Studio’s CG-animated preschool series Rocket Club (pictured), which has already aired in the UK (Sky), Australia (ABC), Canada (CBC) and China (Mango TV). This 20 x 11-minute series is about a young spaceship crew that travels across the galaxy, saving the day wherever they go.
  • Just months into their partnership, Converse and Bluey are already expanding it to start letting consumers design and order custom-made Bluey shoes. Starting on October 16, the Converse By You online hub will feature a range of Bluey-inspired colors, laces and graphics that can be applied to personalize kids and infant-size shoes. The companies launched their first limited-edition collab for all ages in August, and some reports note that the collection was quickly selling out.
  • Fresh from BLE, The Mouse Mansion Company has signed a global deal with Handicraft to produce a line of crochet kits based on its Sam & Julie preschool series. The Dutch manufacturer will roll out its new product line in Q4 2025. Crocheting is really heating up in the arts & crafts category, and The Woobles is another kit-maker that has been scoring deals with big entertainment brands lately as it works to introduce this traditional pastime to today’s kids.

 

  • Moon-Keys International Content has picked up Melody & Momom (52 x seven minutes) from Mobo and Dami For Content for its distribution catalogue. Commissioned by RAI Kids, with 20STM (Belgium) and Xentrix (India) co-producing, this CG-animated series is about a girl who loves dancing, her puppy, and using a magical microphone and music to solve everyday problems.

 

  • Digitoonz Spain has taken global distribution rights to Canela Media’s 2D-animated preschool series SúperEllas and Plaza de Aventuras. SúperEllas (23 x eight minutes) is about two girls who uncover stories of Latin trailblazers, while Plaza (a Canela and Lingo Plaza co-production) focuses on a monkey and his friends as they explore LatAm culture. Digitoonz is also heading to MIP Junior to pitch its own new original series, YugiBao.
