Little Airplane Productions (The Wonder Pets!, 3rd & Bird!) is producing two new animated preschool series, Small Potatoes! and Jo B. G. Raff!, both of which are created by Josh Selig, Founder/President, Little Airplane Productions. Little Airplane's producer Jeffrey Lesser will produce the two programs. Little Airplane will showcase the two new series this October at MipJunior/Mipcom.
Small Potatoes! (10x2) The short-form series revolves around four musical potatoes as they use their imagination to take them on adventures and explore different musical genres.
Jo B. G. Raff! (26x11) Featuring a new style of animation called, Soft Toy Animation, creating a stuffed toy look for the characters, the program follows best friends, Jo B. and G. Raff, as they co-host their own preschool series. Complicating the show is that G. Raff takes off just as each show is about to begin and Jo B. travels far and wide to find them leaving the duo hosting the show from the moon to the Pyramids of Giza.


RDF Digital USA and Artificial Life partner to produce a new kid-targeted interactive animated half-hour TV show called Sleuths. The show promises a new level of mobile viewer participation, not yet seen in the US, which allows audiences to become part of the storyline. Utilizing Artificial Life's MoPA-TV system, kid viewers can register their own avatars that will appear on screen three times during each live telecast for elimination-style voting sessions. The show's detective characters will ask the avatars to answer a question related to the mystery and kids watching at home then text in their responses. At the end of each episode, a random selection of 5 avatars get to appear alongside the animated characters in a digital shout-out to kids who solved all three puzzles. Producer Max Benator, SVP/Multiplatform Entertainment, RDF USA, will initially pitch the show to kid-targeted cable networks as a unique 2-screen entertainment property with a range of sponsorship opportunities.
