Coolabi and King Rollo Films bring Poppy Cat to Nick Jr
Soon enough, Nickelodeon will bring fans the world of Poppy Cat, Big Cat, Zuzu, Alma, Mo, Owl, and Bear. Why’s that? Because Coolabi and King Rollo Films are bringing the book series to Nick Jr. The production has already begun, translating Lara Jones Poppy Cat books into animated form and straight to Nick Junior in the UK. The plan is to get the cute little toon on televisions starting early 2011, spreading across the globe shortly after, with Cake Entertainment handling the plans for that. It’s not quite clear yet what the series’ tone will be, but we can turn to the existing books for a cue: Poppy Cat’s Play House, Poppy Cat’s Christmas, Poppy Cat Loves Rainbows, Poppy Cat’s Dream, Poppy Cat’s Sparkly Night, amongst others.
