“I’m very happy that we are able to begin work on our Puffin Rock feature with our brilliant partners Dog Ears and China Nebula Pictures. We’re very excited about the movie and have big hopes for it reaching family audiences across the globe,” said Fionnuala Deane, MD of Dog Ears. “We’re delighted to announce the production of the Puffin Rock Movie and to welcome our new partners Chinese Nebula Pictures on board. As a big fan of Puffin Rock myself, I can’t wait to meet the little puffin and her friends on the big screen as soon as possible,” said CNB CEO Axinaer. “I am very honored to participate in this wonderful family film together with the world’s leading 2D animation team. The film will be produced across three locations – in Dog Ears studio in Derry, in Cartoon Saloon in Kilkenny and in China Nebula Studio in Tianjin in China – due for release in the Spring of 2021. The Puffin Rock Movie is a huge boost to the growing brand and also marks a new co-production partnership with CNB. The movie sees the heroic Oona work with her friends to save their island, and a precious little egg, in an action-packed story which celebrates the puffins’ magnificent natural environment, and features themes of belonging, courage and friendship. Puffin Rock is available on Tencent in China, where it has been streamed over 170 million times. Puffin Rock has been acquired by various international broadcasters including a global deal with Netflix, and a Chinese acquisition by China Nebula Group (CNB). The award winning preschool TV series Puffin Rock (2 seasons, 79 x 7’) enjoys international success, receiving an International Emmy nomination, two Kidscreen Awards and a Royal Television Award, and has been a huge hit with preschool audiences. The latest adventure for the charismatic little seabirds will be the first animated feature produced in Northern Ireland. As the acclaimed children’s preschool brand Puffin Rock enjoys continued success around the world, its co-owners - Cartoon Saloon, Penguin Books and Dog Ears - have announced the production greenlight for the Puffin Rock Movie.
