BBC Studios Kids & Family Productions and Trustbridge Entertainment are co-producing My Friend Maisy, with animation created by A Productions and London-based studio Karrot working in collaboration.
The 52 x 5’ 2D animated series is based on the Maisy books, written and illustrated by Lucy Cousins, which have sold more than 46 million copies worldwide and won the hearts of young children and their families everywhere.
Katherine McQueen, joint managing director of A Productions, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be part of the team who will bring the much-loved Maisy character and friends to life through animation in this exciting new show.
“Whilst closely reflecting the illustrative style of Lucy Cousins’ wonderful books, the series will offer a unique opportunity for global audiences to join Maisy on her adventures in a new, captivating and imaginative way, where they will hear her talk, giggle, and sing for the very first time.”
My Friend Maisy pushes the boundaries of classic preschool storytelling with stories that slip seamlessly between the real and surreal, like a child’s imagination. The series follows the adventures of Maisy, who can go anywhere and do anything—whether it’s fixing a car in her garage, flying a rocket to the moon, or slipping into a dreamscape of squiggles when she’s eating spaghetti for dinner. Big or small, Maisy does it all!
BBC Studios Kids & Family Productions Creative Lead for Animation, Tony Reed, says: “It’s wonderful to be working with A Productions and Karrot Entertainment once again following such a successful collaboration on Love Monster. I have worked with A Productions on many series including the award winning CBeebies series, JoJo & Gran Gran. Their attention to detail and passion for making the very best animated content for children makes them perfect for My Friend Maisy.”
