Supertato Series 1 & 2

CBeebies / BBC Studios

2D animated comedy action adventure series for CBeebies.

The Challenge

The BBC were looking for an animation partner that offered 2D regional production to deliver two series of Supertato, based on the bestselling books by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet and targeted at an audience of 4-6 year olds.

Our Approach

Borne from the original partnership between Plug-in Media and Blue Zoo, we have brought slapstick tone and bold visual humour to the world of the Wize Buys Supermarket, where Supertato and his Veggie friends continually face off against the hilariously villainous Evil Pea. To date, we have now directed and animated 104 7-minute episodes, fully animated from start to finish from our Brighton studio, using our Toonboom Harmony pipeline. Series 1 was additionally supported via a co-production partnership with Chinese studio Feitong.

  • Broadcast daily on CBeebies channel and iPlayer.
  • Nominated for British Animation Award, Kids Choice category 2014.
  • Additional multi-platform content developed by us including shorts, games and e-books.
