Yeti Farm Creative pre-school hit series ‘Sweet Tweets’ to air on Knowledge: Kids

Yeti Farm Creative, an artist-driven studio and one of Canada’s most robust animation pipelines, is bringing a longer-form version of its Sweet Tweets digital series to Knowledge: Kids on British Columbia’s Knowledge Network, the publicly-funded education cable network.

The fan-favourite show will premiere on 1 November 2021. In addition, Yeti Farm Creative (Hotel Transylvania Season 2Summer Memories) has named Zodiak Kids, part of Banijay (Super-Agent Jon Le BonHorrid Henry), worldwide distributor for the new 26 x 3.5 story-driven series produced with the financial participation of the Shaw Rocket Fund. Zodiak Kids had introduced Sweet Tweets to international broadcasters at MIPCOM, 11-14 October 2021, in Cannes, France.

Yeti Farm creative, founder CEO and co-executive producer of the show Ashley Ramsay said, “We’re so excited to bring the Sweet Tweets series to viewers across Canada and around the world. Sweet Tweets has amassed a large and loyal following on YouTube and other digital platforms over the years and we look forward to working with Knowledge: Kids and Zodiak Kids to debut the new longer-form series for existing and new fans everywhere.”

Zodiak Kids SVP of sales, acquisitions and co-production Delphine Dumont said, “Zodiac Kids is delighted to have taken on the distribution of this gorgeous yet simple program. We are looking forward to presenting the longer version to broadcasters globally and for pre-schoolers to fall under its charm.”

Sweet Tweets will present character-driven stories about life’s small adventures, featuring a cast of friendly Tweets who laugh, play and, especially, sing together. The series centers on Lindy, who lives with her parents and little brother, Pipik, and their friends who reside on Cherry Blossom Lane. The relatable stories focus on social-emotional lessons for preschoolers, from dealing with disappointments – like being inside on a rainy day and cleaning up big messes – to simple joys of everyday life such as playing games with friends and learning something new.

The upcoming show expands on the original Sweet Tweets series of song-centered, one-minute digital shorts. Every episode of the longer-form series will include a minute-long, standalone original song by composer Daniel Ingram (My Little Pony: The MovieLittlest Pet Shop), to be available on iTunes.

The beautifully-animated series was created entirely in British Columbia with 2D Harmony. It is set to air on Knowledge Network each weekday at 12:42 pm PT and stream across Canada on the free Knowledge: Kids app and online.

Sweet Tweets launched on YouTube in 2016 and has since rolled out on multiple OTT platforms, including Amazon, Curious World, Future Today, and Tubi TV, as well as digital books via FarFaria. The series’ 32 digital shorts of fun nursery songs have garnered more than one million views – and counting!

The new series is created by Jon Izen (Pet SquadChuck’s Choice) and produced by Yeti Farm Creative. Executive produced Frank Saperstein and Ashley Ramsay. The show is produced by Megan Ryan, directed by Ryan Olson, and written by Amy Brown.
