Mother Goose Club
Stories
52 x 11’ eps  CGI Animation Series
From the creative team
behind the YouTube
sensation Mother Goose
Club, comes Mother
Goose Club Stories, a
new 52 x 11’ series that
reimagines the popular
Mother Goose Club characters in striking CGI-animation
within a story-driven narrative.
The beautiful land of Goosica is ruled by the sometimes silly
and bombastic King Kuckoo. When things go wrong, The
Mother Goose Club use their smarts and courage to set
things right. Recurring songs reinforce the series’ themes
of character building, teamwork and perseverance, and encourages kids to sing and dance along.
A designated YouTube Top Creator, Sockeye Media is the
recipient of 19 industry award nominations, and winner of
twelve of them including three Emmy® Awards, four Telly
awards and a Parents’ Choice Award.
Worldwide rights available from Foothill Entertainment, who
also serve as Executive Producers for the series.
Boy and the Dinosaur
52 x 11’ eps  Animation Series

the world around them together. An all new preschool
series, Boy and the Dinosaur™ has universal appeal
and a unique feel which gives it a special, intimate
atmosphere all its own.

rest of their slimy horde to invade Earth! It is up to the
Slime Rangers to root out these gross and smelly (but really funny) aliens before they can do some real damage.
