The UK broadcaster has ordered new original series
Dodo from Bristol-based Wildseed Studios for a June premiere. The 20 x 10-minute animated comedy follows along as a young boy starts his first year of middle school and always ends up overcoming embarrassing situations.
Dodo was created by Jack Bennett and is based on his eight-minute animated short
Not The End of the World. Wildseed is producing the series in association with Birkdale Film and Television, India’s Toonz Media Group and Ireland’s Telegael.
