It airs on France 3, and I haven’t read about it jumping the pond or being dubbed into English, but here’s a little sizzle reel I spotted:

Ka-Ching Finish Making De Grobbebollen

posted by aaron, 7.20 AM

The boys at Ka-Ching Cartoons have been mighty busy, churning out a new kids show titled De Grobbebollen Maken Lol (in Dutch “lol” rather appropriately means “fun”). It’s in Dutch, but there’s plenty of physical comedy that translates into any language. [might need Silverlight to view this]

[UPDATE] I learned from Joost at Ka-Ching that they’re making 52 five-minute episodes over 2 seasons. They’re also working with artists from around the globe like Mick Harrison, Jesse Cote and Todd Ramsay

Big congrats to my pal Rita Street and the all the Flash-animators who helped get it on the air.

Dave Schlafman and Evan Sussman’s PBS KIDS GO! project, Fizzy’s Lunch Lab, is helping kids navigate the piles of unhealthy food typically encountered during the holidays. This upbeat track, titled Don’t Get Carried Away for the Holidays, is by Freezer Burn, the show’s “house band,” who are comprised of various refrigerator dwelling musicians.
