It's Friday, October 5, 2007, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. INTERNATIONAL MARKET: National Geographic Television International (NGTI) has picked up the distribution rights from ABC Australia to the 60-minute, high-def documentary, Australia: Land Of Parrots. The show, about Australia's most prominent bird, was co-produced by ABC's Natural History Unit with Thirteen/WNET New York and in association with PBS. In addition, NGTI picked up the 52-minute, hi-def Humpbacks: From Fire to Ice, which it will offer for co-production and pre-sale at MIPCOM. In 2008, NGTI will be launching two more 52-minute productions internationally in association with Australia's ABC. The first is the BK Films-produced Cassowaries while the second is Whale Rescue, produced by Sea Dog Films. Sony Pictures Television International and South Korea's Hanaro Telecom are teaming up to bring SPTI's films to VoD to the broadband provider's HanaTV subscribers with a same day release with DVD and South Korean home video. Hanaro also picked up the electronic sell-through rights current and library SPTI titles. Breakthrough Films & Television has secured an order for season 2 (13x30) of Plastic Makes Perfect from Canada's SLICE. The factual series looks at prevailing beliefs about beauty through hidden camera tests and women's real life experiences. Astral Media's The Movie Network and Corus Entertainment's Movie Central have signed on to present three new HBO original documentaries to their viewers, including Run, Granny, Run (October 24 at 9p and October 18 at 8p, respectively), Children of God: Lost and Found (November 7 at 9p and currently available on Movie Central On Demand), and I Am An Animal: The Story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA (November 21 at 9p and November 20 at 8p). Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. inked an agreement with LA-based Odd Lot Entertainment to acquire the Canadian home video rights to three of its feature films, romantic comedy Suburban Girl, comedic western Undead or Alive, and romantic comedy Ira & Abby. The Company's Peace Arch Home Entertainment division will premiere the DVD for each film in Canada in early 2008. Canada's Bravo! picked up Dirt from FX. The FX Touchstone Television and Coquette Productions drama will air Fridays at 10p as of November 2. Yowza Animation and Cuppa Coffee Animation Studio are teaming with Star Farm Productions to produce the mixed animated series The Kinetics (26 episodes or 52x11). Star Farm will be at MIPCOM Junior to introduce the new K3-6 targeted series. Designed to get preschoolers up and dancing, featuring CG animated characters combined into a stop-motion animated backgrounds. Each episode (11-min) is comprised of two segments; a narrative story in which a superheroes' dance moves save the day, and a 60-second live-action Dance Break during which kids are taught the featured dance. Additionally, Star Farm has signed a 9-book publishing deal with Harcourt for The Kinetics. The first three titles are slated for release in fall 2008. Corrections : Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution's Back to You should be listed as a comedy instead of a drama in this week's MIPCOM 2007 Shopping List. Another change … Animation Collective's Thumb Wrestling Federation: TWF is actually 300 minutes of interstitials. CROSS-MARKET: Menudo is back! MTV's Making Menudo reality series will make its debut on October 25 at 1030p, following the fourth season premiere of Run's House. Out of the hundreds of guys that auditioned, fifteen 13-19-year olds were picked to head off to Menudo Boot Camp in Miami. The 10-episode series will be re-broadcast on MTV Tr3s on Saturdays at 2p. Menudo Entertainment will handle the final 5-person urban/Latin music boy band with manager Johnny Wright. HISPANIC MARKET: Intelsat, Ltd. signed a new multi-year contract with Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (SBS) for SBS to use Intelsat's network of satellite, teleport and fiber for distribution of its Mega TV network programming to cable operators, DTH providers, and free-to-air affiliates throughout the Continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. LATAM MARKET: Argentina's Comision Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia granted a formal approval to Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. to acquire 7 Latin American pay TV networks, a deal estimated at $234 million.

TBS Latin America will also sales rep and provide tech services for Claxson- and third party-owned Latin American networks.
