Looking ForSeries and fi lms that have proven themselves with kids in their native lands, whether comedy, drama, games or real-life. We’ll consider exceptional animation, but we’re particularly interested in live-action stories that capture the truth of kids’ lives, aspirations, anxieties, curiosity and imagination. We’re not afraid of quirky shows that might attract a smaller viewership: we live to bring kids and creators together. Many Wonderreel© programs originate in languages other than English: we cover translation and re-voicing.

Company Profi leWonderreel© is the fi rst television network designed for digital natives. Subscription-based and commercial-free, we program a personal channel for every child, 6-11 years old, from a broad international collection of TV and movies, voiced in English, Spanish and the original language. Wonderreel’s proprietary interface makes online/mobile video make sense to kids on any digital device, while assuring parents industrial-strength curation, moderation and supervision. Committed to long-term partnerships with producers and rights-holders, Wonderreel© offers topline revenue-sharing based on viewership, with minimum guarantees. The service will launch commercially in 2014 in North America and other select English- and Spanish-speaking regions.
