\n Barbie <\/em>giant Mattel is teaming up with award-winning animation studio Aardman (Chicken Run<\/em>, Shaun the Sheep<\/em>, Wallace & Gromit<\/em>) to co-develop a new stop-motion, animated Pingu <\/em>television series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n The series is inspired by Mattel\u2019s beloved cheeky penguin who lives in the South Pole and has stayed on our screens for decades, famous for his mischief and catchphrase, \u201cNoot Noot!\u201d Designed by\u00a0Otmar Gutmann in the 1980s, the show first aired on the U.K.\u2019s BBC One in 1990.<\/p>\n

\n Josh Silverman, chief franchise officer of Mattel, told The Hollywood Reporter <\/em>at MIPCOM Cannes on Monday: \u201cYou couldn\u2019t ask for a more perfect marriage [than between Mattel and Aardman]. I was just with their their team. We are overjoyed about the project. It\u2019s going to be really, really special. Pingu <\/em>just continues to, organically, have a tremendous amount of affection and attention. And a tremendous amount of relevance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n The Pingu <\/em>series will be co-developed by Sarah Cox and Alan Thorpe for Aardman, and Sidney Clifton, Rob David and Melanie Shannon for Mattel Television Studios. The toy company acquired Pingu through its purchase of HIT Entertainment in 2011.<\/p>\n

\n Silverman spoke about Mattel\u2019s mission to capitalize on what can be best described as \u201cnew-stalgia\u201d \u2014 shows, effectively, that resonate with both adults and children because of Mattel\u2019s long-lasting legacy. For example, the familiar purple dinosaur Barney <\/em>who got a new premiere with the rebooted Barney\u2019s World<\/em> on Oct. 14. \u201cIt\u2019s an IP that is nostalgic for adults, but new for preschoolers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n He continued: \u201cAnd so Barney really fits very quite well there. It\u2019s really entertaining and fun for kids, but allows adults to hearken back to their childhood, their emotional connection to a piece of IP, to this story, this narrative. Instead of watching with children, you are watching with your children and enjoying it together. And I think that it\u2019s something really unique, and something we\u2019re going to continue to so lean into as we mine our portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Are Mattel trying to replicate the magic in television that they were able to achieve with Greta Gerwig\u2019s billion-dollar hit Barbie<\/em>? \u201cWhat we\u2019re really trying not to do is compare or contrast,\u201d Silverman said. \u201cEach project really stands on its own. Barbie<\/em> was an incredible partnership, obviously, with Greta who is one of the most incredible creatives on the planet, and it was such a special collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n \u201cI think, on the content side, we work with the best creatives who have a real connection to the [project], we collaborate and we trust, and that\u2019s the ingredients, in many ways, of what you saw come through with Barbie<\/em>.\u201d Aardman, it seems, represents the kinds of creatives that Mattel want to place their bets on.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
