The new Bumba episodes will be told entirely through action and movement, and
will be supported by live music and playful sound effects in the great tradition of the
European Circus. Because the new series will not contain dialogue or narration,
there will be no need for any dubbing of any kind on the series.
"We are thrilled to be partnering with our friends at Studio 100 to bring Bumba to an
international audience," said Josh Selig, President of Little Airplane Productions. "It's
one of the funniest shows I have ever seen and I know the preschoolers will love it!"
Hans Bourlon, CEO of Studio 100 added, “It’s a great privilege to be working with
Josh Selig and Little Airplane Productions on what has proven to be one of our most
successful pre-school brands. With their unrivaled expertise and commitment to kids’
entertainment, I am confident that Bumba’s career change into animation will be
remarkable."
