Mumbai: The Media Pioneers (TMP), a UK-based distributor of kids’ content and feature films, has acquired global distribution rights (excluding Singapore, Greater China, and Korea) for the highly anticipated South Korean anime ‘Codename X’ (26 x 13’). This marks the first anime in TMP’s growing catalog and has already resulted in several international sales.
Produced by SIDE9, a renowned South Korean animation studio, ‘Codename X’, has been sold to various broadcasters and platforms, including Junior Channel in Israel, MBC in MENA, Lingopie (a language-learning SVOD platform) for Europe, and Ceska Televise in the Czech Republic.
The 2D anime has been praised for its striking animation, engaging storyline, and exciting blend of action, fantasy, and adventure. TMP also produced an English version, featuring popular voice talents and introducing recap clips at the start of each episode for easy catch-up.
TMP’s managing director Maggie Liang expressed her enthusiasm for the show, stating, “When I first saw the poster, I knew that Codename X was exactly what we were looking for. I absolutely love the story and it’s the perfect fit for kids aged 6 and up as well as tweens. They will be hooked from one episode to the next without ever pressing the pause or exit button."
Synopsis:
‘Codename X’ follows Blue, a boy who unexpectedly time travels to the past, where he meets his mother, Violet, at age 11. To his surprise, she’s not the typical, boring mom he thought he knew—she’s a senior officer at M.S.G., one of the world’s top spies. Blue becomes an M.S.G. agent and teams up with his mother to tackle impossible missions. Together, they face the challenge of whether they can change the future or become trapped in the past.
