It looks like Dublin-based Monster Distributes has a big hit on its hands. Thanks to its audience- friendly, interactive nature, the animated series PICME may have launched a whole new trend in toontown. The preschool show teaches basic concepts to viewers. However, the clever part of the package is that each five-minute episode stars a different child - based on a picture of a kid sent in by viewers to the broadcasters. The special PICME software allows pictures to be part of the pre-made cartoons. Commissioned by RTE, the toon has already been sold to Nick UK, Animania US, KIKA Germany, Teletoon France, S4C Wales and Hungama TV India, Indonesia and Malaysia. Monster founder Andrew Fitzpatrick also had a good time selling his other blue-ribbon shows, which included: I'm an Animal; bro'Town; Bugtime Adventures; Hermie and Friends and Anthony Lucas' award-winning short, The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello. (We all hope this one will be a shoo-in for an Oscar nom this year!)
