Online video provider Amazon has announced the line-up for its autumn kids' pilot season that will debut later this year in the US, UK, Germany, Austria and Japan.
Amazon customers will find a slate of animated pilots, including a preschool-aged show based on the beloved book series If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and The Numberlys, a story for preschoolers .
Animated pilots for children ages six to 11 include Danger & Eggs, a show that chronicles the endless adventures of fearless DD Danger and her ever-cautious best friend, a giant talking egg; Eddie of the Realms Eternal, a story that centres around a meek teen who balances a hero's life while dealing with the ordinary pressures of middle-school life; Everstar, a journey that follows an adventurous 12-year-old girl who accidentally intercepts an intergalactic SOS signal; and Yoyotoki HappyEars!, a story that follows a fox whose family accidentally lands on Mytholopia and encounters its unusual citizens who stir up their lives in extraordinary ways.
These pilots — along with prime time pilots Edge, Good Girls Revolt, Highston, One Mississippi, Patriot and Z — will debut on 5 November on Amazon Video. They follow in the tradition of Amazon's commitment to kids' programming.
Amazon customers will once again be invited to watch and provide feedback on the shows they want to see turned into full series for Prime members.
"Our new kids' pilots will combine rich worlds with unique characters that we hope will appeal to our customers," said Tara Sorensen, head of kids' programming for Amazon Studios. "We're delighted to debut these animated projects from such esteemed and remarkable creative talent."
