Munich/London, 26 January 2009 TV-Loonland and The Illuminated Film
Company today announced that they have furthered an already strong
partnership in producing a third season of the multi-award winning animated
pre-school show, LITTLE PRINCESS. Continuing the worldwide success of the
first two series and two additional 22 minute specials, now airing in over
165 countries, the third season commissioned by Fives Milkshake! will
feature 35 additional episodes introducing a number of new characters and
locations. A total of 104 episodes will therefore be airing across the
globe from 2010 following the series premiere on Milkshake!.
In addition to the established UK Celebrity cast, voice artists Jane
Horrocks and Julian Clary are joined by much-loved British film actor and
TV personality Brian Blessed, playing larger than life character Great
Uncle Walter, who debuted in the LITTLE PRINCESS Winter Special A Merry
Little Christmas.
Fans can look forward to meeting new friends in the Kingdom; 4 year old
Algernon, the Maid´s nephew, and headstrong Horace the Shetland Pony.
New themes, additional locations such as the seaside and Great Uncle
Walters castle, and a wider view of Little Princesss world guarantees to
capture the imagination of viewers, making the third season as appealing as
the first two series.
Iain Harvey, Producer at the Illuminated Film Company said: 'On any long
running series, the strength of the story-telling is crucial. We are
blessed with a wonderful and imaginative team of writers that will ensure
our Little Princess will go from strength to strength at least, thats
what she told me in her breaks between play!
Olivier Dumont, Managing Director at TV-Loonland commented:' Given the
proven brand value of LITTLE PRINCESS to date and the continued strong
support from Five by commissioning the third series, there was absolutely
no doubt about our involvement in the production of a third season.
TV-Loonland has been managing the brand from its infancy in 2006 and in
the past three years LITTLE PRINCESS has showcased our approach towards
successfully sourcing new projects and moving them to established brands.'
