As part of a deal that secures pre-sales for its pre-school animation series, Spanish production, distribution and service studio company, Motion Pictures, has secured a raft of presales for MyaGo.

MyaGo tells the story of Mya, a young girl whose enthusiasm infects everyone around her. She lives in the very busy town of Everyday with her closest friends Suzie Play, Emily Share and Tommy Stop. With her fearless sense of adventure, she tries things for the first time with an ambitious and go-getter attitude.

In addition to selling the 104 x 5’30 new animation series, produced alongside Irish content studio Piranha Bar, Motion Pictures has signed Gloobinho, the preschool channel of Globosat in Brazil, as the latest co-production partner for the series. As well as Piranha Bar, Gloobinho joins existing co-production partners RTVE (Spain), TV3 (Televisió de Catalunya), RTE (Ireland), Screen Ireland (Ireland) and BAI (Ireland).

The show is currently in production with the first season ready for delivery (52 x 5’30) and a second season (52 x 5’30) expected in June 2019. Both seasons have been picked up by YLE (Finland), while SVT (Sweden), TVNZ (New Zealand) and HOP! (Israel) have each acquired the first series and additional deals are expected to close in the coming months.

MyaGo’s first 26 episodes debuted on RTEjr (Ireland) last July. A full series premiere is scheduled on Club Super 3 (TV Catalunya) and Clan during this year, with the international broadcast roll-out commencing from March 2019.

Motion Pictures is also beginning to assemble a consumer products programme for MyaGo in key territories and CPLG has been appointed as the property’s licensing agent in Spain with target categories including toys, apparel and publishing.

“The initial response to MyaGo has been fantastic and as we gear up to the show’s official launch, we’re delighted to have such a strong stable of broadcast partners in place, as well as experienced co-production partners,” said Motion Pictures executive producer Jorge Patiño. “MyaGO is an incredibly sweet property, with a unique visual style, which encourages children to explore and be curious about the world around them. Its strong and courageous lead character of Mya also means the show offers an alternative heroine to the stereotypical ‘pink princess’ type of series and we’re confident it will delight young fans and their families around the world.”
