CCI Entertainment has closed a series of international deals for its animated kids series Erky Perky. The Toronto company has sold the 52 x 11 to Radio-Canada domestically, and to Sopresa in the U.S., TV2 Denmark and HBO Asia. The show, seen in English Canada on YTV since 2007, and on ABC in Australia, also airs in France, Ireland and many Asian countries.

Erky was recently nominated for a pair of awards, picking up nods for best animated series at next month’s Banff World Television Awards, and best fictional children’s series, for kids aged seven to 11, at the Prix Jeunesse International.

A coproduction between CCI and Sydney-based Ambience Entertainment, the CG and HD animated series follows the adventures of the titular bickering bugs, whose idyllic life on a downtown hotdog stand ends when they are relocated to a sterile kitchen with no food in sight.
