Mondo TV Group closed a major strategic cooperation agreement with the German children’s and family entertainment company Toon2Tango, founded by Hans Ulrich Stoef (Ulli Stoef).
The alliance aimed at the international market will focus on the development, production and distribution of unique and high quality programs with a strong merchandising appeal. Toon2Tango will develop for Mondo TV Group at least eight new animated TV series over the next four years, which Mondo TV Group and Toon2Tango will co-produce and distribute.
The rights of both distribution and licensing and merchandising will vary depending on the territory, but the co-producing partners will be co-owners of the underlying IP, so Toon2Tango will be responsible for the brand identity of the series.
“This is a very important alliance for the Group, helping us to build a stronger presence for Mondo in Northern Europe through a partnership with a notable new force in children’s and family entertainment led by an experienced and highly regarded industry figure. We are proud to be working with Mr Hans Ulrich Stoef, one of the most respected personalities in our industry, in his new venture. We look forward to a long and successful partnership,” said Matteo Corradi, CEO of Mondo TV.
Ulli Stoef, CEO and executive producer of Toon2Tango, assured that this agreement offers Toon2Tango the opportunity to develop and produce a series of projects that have solid financing through one of the leading producers and distributors in Europe. “It is our utmost goal to produce world class shows and films and thus build a strong portfolio of IP’s which will will travel through out the world. We look forward to announcing the first projects and productions very soon.”
