Leading the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF) lineup, Tales from Outer Suburbia tells the story of Klara and her brother Pim, whose holiday in Outer Suburbia evolves into a surreal experience.

The adaptation of Shaun Tan’s illustrated anthology “delivers a cinematic storytelling experience that is rarely seen in episodic animation,” says Roberta Di Vito, international sales manager. “Its imaginative, surreal adventures explore big emotional themes—family, belonging and resilience—that will relate to viewers around the world.”

Also on offer, Kangaroo Beach pairs adventure with water safety education, following four animal cadets as they train with lifeguard mentors.

Eddie’s Lil’ Homies, which centers on an 8-year-old as he navigates life on the playground, celebrates themes of diversity, friendship and community.

“These series showcase the high quality of Australian animation,” Di Vito says.
