In the final hour before MIPTV, L.A.-based boutique distributor Bejuba! Entertainment has snapped up the rights to The Hive and will be pre-selling the preschool series in Cannes.
The 78 x seven-minute CGI co-production from Lupus Films, PPC and Monumental Productions is slated to start delivering in Q2 2010, and GMTV in the UK has already picked up the project for its preschool block The Fluffy Club. The Hive tells the story of two young bumblebees who teach wee viewers about the natural world order.
