Top Children’s TV creator back with new show, THE BLARNEYS, set to take MIPTV by storm!

PRLog (Press Release) - Apr. 1, 2011 - THE BLARNEYS is currently in development, and financed via a private equity group. Penpower Inc Group hold the rights and are producing a pilot for a £30M feature film – Live action and CGI – and a TV animated series of 52 x 26 minute episodes, simultaneously. The producers will announce the feature film A list cast and director for the Cannes Film Festival.

This latest production is a ground breaking family animated tent pole with strong merchandising, gaming and franchising opportunities.  The story setting is Ireland and centred around the heartfelt journey of a boy and his friends. The thrilling adventures and happenings of the unique wee folk, the Blarneys, take place in and around the world famous Blarney Castle (the second largest tourist attraction in Ireland).  The legendary Blarney Stone is their powerbase seat of providence and imbued with all things mystical, mythical, poetic and spiritual.  The energy of the Stone gives the Blarneys their other-worldly ability to ward off the malevolence of Grim Jim and his evil band of Shamrogues.

Penpower Inc Group is an international production company dedicated to transmedia storytelling. A  European based company with offices in London, Los Angeles, and Dublin, the Company seeks extraordinary stories and the very best creative teams around the world dedicated to new levels of cinematic technology and production process to entertain and inspire audiences worldwide.    

In these changing and distressing times, with violence and conflict occurring throughout the world, the question asked by the inimitable imagineer, Jeffrey O’Kelly, is …. ‘where is the children’s voice in all of this?’   His latest Celtic opus – ‘Blarneyland’ provides a platform on which children of our networked world can be guided and empowered through the aeons.  Blarneyland shows how children are mankind’s future, the natural software of the planet who can influence with their innocence and imagination.  

Jeffrey’s previous worldwide broadcast of the successful series (Dr Snuggles) found an audience of children and adults alike.   His dream for children continues into the 21st century with his deep-felt drive to making this earth a happier, more care-free place through the medium of pure imagination, deep original thought, optimism and quality thinking. It is his hope that, like Dr Snuggles before, “Blarneyland is a world that will be remembered by the twinkling hordes of boys and girls as they tumble after us through the awesome experience of life”.

Stealth media Group will be at MIPTV soft launching the concept and meeting with potential buyers and co –producers for the animated TV series.
