CCI Entertainment is showcasing Artzooka! at MIPCOM. “We are currently producing local Spanish and Portuguese versions for Discovery Kids Latin America,” says Arnie Zipursky, CCI’s president. “This is in addition to the sale of the original English series to Nickelodeon Asia, Korea and India, the success of the version for Nickelodeon Germany, and the recent launch of the show on CBC. This is generating a lot of buzz and interest in this series, These are going to be major productions in each territory, as we work with each broadcaster to make our multimillion dollar, multimedia art series their own.” CCI is also bringing animated movies like Scary Godmother.
