wentieth Century Fox Consumer Products EMEA xxxxxx licenses a wide range of successful properties, emanating from both film and TV productions, and I am delighted to have this opportunity to xxxxxx briefly update you on our key brands, both classic and new, for 2012 and beyond. As we continue to expand our activities into new territories, especially within the Central and Eastern European region, our focus still remains in all markets on building long term, mutually beneficial relationships with all our partners: licensees, retailers, agents and promotional agencies. The Simpsons will be celebrating its 500th episode across the region in 2012, and its on-going success will be supported by frequent new and relevant style guides targeting each audience demographic of the show, namely families, men, boys, women and girls, with artwork being delivered which is suitable for different product categories and retail channels. Glee is now entering its 3rd season and the merchandise programme for the award-winning hit TV show continues to grow across the European region, especially in UK, France and Germany, with new products appearing at retail in targeted product categories such as fashion apparel, stationery and accessories. Family Guy has rapidly expanded its retail presence in the UK in the past 12 months with 16 licensees now active, and key European markets such as Germany, Spain and the Nordics are now garnering similar on-shelf presence. The introduction of the Family Guy online game experience will give fans a new way to enjoy the brand and will tap into the crossover between the Family Guy fan base and gamers in a major way. A new addition to our TV portfolio for Autumn 2011 is the highly anticipated Steven Spielberg produced Terra Nova. An epic family adventure, Terra Nova follows the Shannon family who travel back 85 million years in time to join a prehistoric Earth colony. TV broadcast is already confirmed on major channels in the UK, Germany and Belgium with more broadcasters to be confirmed shortly. The Ice Age Franchise continues its amazing journey through TV, film and online activities. The first ever Ice Age TV Special will air this Christmas on major TV channels across the region. The fourth movie Ice Age: Continental Drift will hit theatres July 2012 with an array of top tier licensees, retailers and promotional partners already on board. Also, fans of the loveable herd will be able to interact with their favourite characters in the first Ice Age online game which launches Summer 2012. Finally, many thanks to all our clients for their continued support of Fox Consumer Products EMEA and its properties. As we further develop our partnerships with existing clients, I look forward at the same time to welcoming new ones to our division.
Carl Lumbard Senior Vice President and Managing Director Fox Consumer Products EMEA

AN EPIC
FAMILY
ADVENTURE Terra Nova follows the Shannon family who travel back 85 million years in time to join a prehistoric Earth colony... From Executive Producers, Steven Spielberg, Peter Chernin, René Echevarria and Brannon Braga. Terra Nova follows the Shannon family on an incredible journey back in time to prehistoric Earth as a small part of a daring experiment to save the human race. When scientists unexpectedly discover a fracture in time that made it possible to construct a portal into primeval history, the bold notion was born to resettle humanity in the past... a second chance to rebuild civilisation ... and get it right this time.
