Zodiak Kids’ prodco Télé Images will handle production with Rainbow, with the animation done by Malaysia-based Animasia.

In France, the show will run on Lagardère youth channels Gulli, Canal J and Tiji.

The show will target 4-to-7s and focuses on the adventures of a girl named Ginger who, with a magic key, enters into a magical kingdom populated by animals, mermaids, unicorns, and elves.

Zodiak will sell the show internationally.
