Cynopsis: Kids! 10/22/10 Good morning. It’s Friday, October 22, 2010, and this is your first early morning Kids briefing. Kabillion enters into a carriage deal with Time Warner Cable, growing the VOD kid-targeted network’s availability to 35+ million digital cable households in the US. The multi-platform Kabillion service is also available on Comcast, Bresnan and Blue Ridge cable systems. Kabillion is a joint venture between Moonscoop, Remix Entertainment Ventures and Studio 100. CBeebies commissions indie UK-based producer Darrall Macqueen to produce the new mixed live-action/2D photo animation, preschool series Magic Baby (26×11). Magic Baby follows the enchanting adventures of Baby Jake, the youngest of 10 kids that live in a windmill. Jake’s 6-year-old brother, Isaac, narrates the series and interprets Baby Jake’s giggles and gurgles and takes viewers into an imaginary world with Jake and his animal friends. Magic Baby is a Darrall Macqueen production in association with Ireland’s JAM Media, which will be produced by Maddy Darrall and executive produced by Billy Macqueen of Darrall Macqueen and Sarah Colclough for CBeebies. JAM Media’s Alan Shannon will serve as animation director. Animator Rodrigo Blaas is in talks with DreamWorks Animation to adapt his already noted short-film Alma as a full-length feature film, per Heat Vision. The movie will be executive produced by Guillermo del Toro. Blaas, who has worked on a number of Pixar movies including Finding Nemo and UP as well as some of its shorts, will write and direct the Alma movie. Blaas and del Toro are also set to co-direct the animated movie Trollhunters. Correction: The title of Barbara Robinson’s kids’ book is The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.
