Distribution360 nabs rights to Olive the Ostrich

Preschool adventure series Olive the Ostrich is spreading its wings, as it’s been picked up by Distribution360 for worldwide distribution, excluding the UK.

The storybook-style CGI animated series (52 x five minutes) comes from London, UK studio Blue-Zoo, and revolves around the titular character and her imaginary journeys. The eps incorporate real pictures drawn by children which have been submitted via an integrated online feature.

Olive is a unique property that has been brought to life by children for children. Core to Olive is story making and creativity – both important ingredients in creating a successful property,” said Oli Hyatt, Blue-Zoo director in a statement.

The series will premiere in the UK on Nick Jr. this September.
