New York-based Little Airplane Productions has paired with non-profit The Littlest Lamb Organization on the co-production of new animated short-form series The Littlest Lamb.

The 26 x three-minute series follows the adventures of a Littlest Lamb and his friends Rabbit and Bird who build a home that provides refuge for vulnerable animals.

The series, which will be made at Little Airplane’s New York studio and is based on a curriculum by Dr. Christine Ricci (Dora The Explorer), is set to launch at MIPCOM 2012.

Josh Selig, Mira Riad and Mickey Riad created the series and creative and financial support was provided by Marina Barakat, Mike Keriakos, Tone Thyne and Fortuny Fabrics.  Cassandra Gibbons is the show’s designer.

The Littlest Lamb Organization is currently building an orphanage outside Cairo, Egypt.
