Michele Schofield, SVP Content Distribution at One Animation, said: “We’ve seen a real growth
for our content amongst VOD platforms and we’re delighted to be working with so many new
and existing partners. Our series are created with real heart, humour and positivity, which will
always resonate with children and their families no matter where they are in the world.
Oddbods, Antiks, Insectibles and Rob the Robot are ideal examples of this approach, and
our robust and growing line-up of platforms is testament to the audience-building firepower of
each series.”
Oddbods is a globally loved, three-time Emmy Award-nominated, non-dialogue comedy
featuring seven adorable, highly unique pals. Together, despite their differences, they survive
the perils of everyday life, unintentionally turning ordinary situations into unexpected,
extraordinary, and always humorous events. The quirky but totally charming Oddbods
celebrate individuality in a funny, warm and unexpected way. After all, there’s a little odd in
everyone!
Antiks is a minimal-dialogue, slapstick comedy for kids aged 3-9 years and follows two sibling
ants, Joey and Boo. With an appetite for food, mischief and minuscule levels of mass-
destruction, nothing escapes their beady little eyes.
Targeting kids aged 6-9 years, Insectibles is a comedy adventure series which follows the
adventures of Zak, Gramps, and three bio-mechanically enhanced insects as they search for
the missing pieces of the ‘Shrinkinator’ – the crazy invention that shrunk Zak and Gramps before
it exploded. They need to find the missing pieces and fix the Shrinkinator all while evading their
enemies!
Educational adventure series Rob the Robot targets kids aged 3-5 years and sees Rob and his
friends, Orbit, Ema, T.K., and Squeak, take adventures across the many amazing planets in the
Robot Galaxy, a fantastical world of fun and imagination. Each mission requires the help or
involvement of his friends and their unique abilities, be it T.K.’s logical thinking or Ema’s
language and early reading knowledge.
