Blue Spirit Productions, Atomic Cartoons and Milkcow Media are teaming up with TF1 to develop the upper preschool series Action Rabbits for the French broadcaster’s TFOU kids channel and TF1+ streamer.

Targeted at the four-to-seven demo, the CG-animated series hops along with four bunnies who use their skills and high-tech gear to protect an island full of volcanoes, jungles and ancient temples.

Alexander Bar, CEO of Toronto-based Milkcow Media (Ricky Zoom) created Action Rabbits and is co-producing it with Newen Studios’ Blue Spirit Productions animation studio and Vancouver-based Thunderbird Entertainment’s Atomic Cartoons. Distributor Newen Connect (also part of Newen Studios) gave broadcasters a first look at it during the Kidscreen Summit, which ran from Feb. 9 to 12 in San Diego.

The “thrilling adventures” of the rabbits attracted TF1 to the project, said Yann Labasque, head of youth programming for TF1 Group, in a statement, adding that the TFOU kids channel for under 10s had more than 21% of the viewing share in France in 2024.
