Media I.M. Incorporated, a London-based content distribution company specializing in premium animation and family entertainment, has secured the global distribution rights for the new 3D animated series ‘Zola and Friends’. The series, produced in collaboration with Wordsword Creations from New Delhi and Double Dot Studios from Ontario, features a lovable white rhino named Zola and her friends exploring the Serengeti nature reserve in Tanzania.

Written by Nigerian screenwriter Omotunde Akiode and directed by Ghanian animation director Francis Y Brown, ‘Zola and Friends’ targets children aged three to six. The show follows Zola, along with her friends Mosi the monkey, Kito the lizard, and Shani the snake, as they embark on adventures, play music, and learn valuable life lessons about teamwork and friendship.

Media I.M.’s co-founder, Maria Ufland, expressed enthusiasm for the series, highlighting Zola’s representation of the endangered northern white rhinos and the positive messages conveyed through the storyline. Co-founder Irina Nazarenko praised the series for its authentic African feel and global relevance, emphasizing its appeal to young viewers worldwide.

WordSword Creations’ co-founder, Capt. Manresh Malhotra, and Catherine John, shared their excitement about the collaboration with Double Dot Studios and Media I.M., underscoring the series’ celebration of African storytelling and conservation themes.

Double Dot Studios’ Founder CEO, Mohammad Banaiee, described ‘Zola and Friends’ as authentic, unique, and nature-oriented, expressing the team’s joy in sharing the series with a global audience. The show, currently available in English, aims to entertain and educate children globally with its captivating animation, music, and endearing characters.

‘Zola and Friends’ marks Media I.M.’s second acquisition in the past year, following the licensing of the pre-school YouTube series ‘Tatty and Misifu’. The company’s successful business model, exemplified by the long-running hit ‘Sunny Bunnies’, continues to expand its global presence in children’s entertainment.
