Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide Press Releases



15.04.02

Andy Pandy is coming to play on world stage


Joined by his loyal friends Looby Loo and Teddy, the classic Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ children's favourite Andy Pandy (52 x 5') returns in a new stop-frame animated series that plays a key role in Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide's line-up for MipTV (15-19 April). Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide has concluded two major licensing deals with TV7 Indonesia and TVNZ New Zealand.


Lovingly recreated by renowned animation studio Cosgrove Hall Films, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide's latest pre-school animation returned to UK TV screens in March 2002 on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's pre-school channel CBeebies and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TWO, 28 years after its last TV appearance.


Deborah Keary, Brand Manager, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide comments: "Andy Pandy and his friends are ready to bring the delights of PandyLand to the rest of the world. The series' magical setting and gentle adventures will captivate young children around the globe, just as it has done in the UK."


Narrated by Scottish actor Tom Conti (Shirley Valentine, Reuben, Reuben), each of the playmates lives in their own house which reflects the characteristics of its inhabitant; Looby Loo's thatched cottage looks just like her golden plaits and Andy Pandy's house resembles his distinctive blue and white stripy hat.


Joining Andy Pandy, Looby Loo and Teddy in the fun and magic of PandyLand is a host of new characters including Orbie, the bouncy ball, Tiffo the Dog and Missy Hissy the snake who lives in a house made of drainpipes.


Andy Pandy is a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide/Ben Productions production, produced by Cosgrove Hall Films.
