INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTERS GET IN A SPIN OVER MOONSCOOP’S TWISTED WHISKERS
Further broadcast deals signed in Europe, Latin America and Middle East

Paris, December 2009 – Moonscoop, the worldwide brand management and entertainment company representing properties from some of the leading animation producers across the globe, has scored a raft of further sales for Twisted Whiskers, a Moonscoop/DQ Entertainment/American Greetings co-production based on the popular greetings card characters.

In Europe, France 3, France 5, KRO Netherlands and Disney Channel Italy have acquired the 52x11' 3D animated comedy series alongside deals in the Middle East with Noga Israel and Al Jazeera and with Cartoon Network in Latin America.

Lionel Marty, President Worldwide Sales at Moonscoop said: "We're building a strong worldwide broadcast base for Twisted Whiskers with these new deals and are very pleased with the response we've received to the series. Pet humour is universal and combined with strong storylines and eye-catching animation, we believe this show will do very well."

Moonscoop has previously signed deals with BBC in the UK, France's Canal+ for Twisted Whiskers.

There's nothing funnier and more intriguing than looking at life from a pet's point of view. Twisted Whiskers celebrates that point of view with a winning combination of heartfelt and hilarious stories focused on an irreverent group of human-like cats and dogs.
