Sky picks up Sesame’s ‘Mister Zoink’ created by A Productions
Skwigly
Pre-school animation series The Musical World of Mister Zoink, created and produced by animation studio A Productions for Sesame, has been bought by Sky and launched in the UK on Sky Kids and Now TV.
Directed by Mark Taylor, co-written by Mark with Ashley Slater and produced by Katherine McQueen, the fun series of shorts explores music and rhythm in a playful and colourful way.
With an upbeat score composed by Ashley Slater, The Musical World of Mister Zoink introduces the concept of different musical sounds to pre-schoolers with a collection of animated characters including Hoot, Bops and The Octos. Together with Mister Zoink, they have a series of crazy musical adventures.
The world of Mister Zoink is a colourful, characterful and imaginative place where we have fun with sound. We are delighted that Sky has launched this show in the UK on Sky Kids so a new young audience can enjoy the musical adventures of this wonderful cast of characters.
The series was created and produced by A Productions in our Bristol studio and following investment from Cyber Group, our plan is to grow our slate of original IP from the studio.
