NCircle Selected to Distribute Taffy Entertainment Children's Properties

Deal Includes DVD & Digital Rights for Dive Olly Dive!

DALLAS, June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- NCircle Entertainment, continuing its momentum in the children's home entertainment space, announced today that it has entered into a five-year agreement with The MoonScoop Group's Taffy Entertainment, a leading worldwide distribution, brand management and entertainment company, representing brands from some of the largest animation producers across the globe. This North American licensing arrangement allows for new first time distribution at brick-and-mortar and online retail outlets of Taffy's Dive Olly Dive!, which airs on PBS KIDS Sprout and Animania HD.

"We are delighted to partner with such a creative and successful entertainment company like Taffy Entertainment," said Debbie Ries, Senior Vice President and General Manager, NCircle Entertainment. "This alliance adds further dimension to our entertainment offerings and supports our mission of delivering trusted products built on themes of quality, entertainment and education to kids and their families."

"As one of the premiere boutique distributors, we believe NCircle has a great understanding of the children's home entertainment space," said Lionel Marty, President, Worldwide Sales for Taffy Entertainment. "They're the ideal partner to grow our properties and elevate the presence of Dive Olly Dive! in the U.S. and Canada."

A 2008 Emmy(R) Award nominee, Dive Olly Dive! follows the fun-filled underwater escapades of Olly and Beth, two young research submarines-in- training. The two live in a deep-sea research center known as SURF -- the Special Underwater Research Facility, where they experience the joys and challenges of life in their underwater world, much in the same way that preschoolers experience life in their world. Created using the latest advances in high-definition 3D CGI animation, the series features an incredibly lifelike underwater world, along with storylines that educate children on the delicate nature of the ecosystems that exist beneath the oceans. In addition to its U.S. broadcast, Dive Olly Dive! is establishing itself as a hit series across Europe, Asia and Latin America. Created by Andrew and Ian Ross, the adventurous series is a co-production of Mike Young Productions; Flying Bark Productions of Australia; KI.KA, ARD of Germany; Telegael of Ireland and GDC. It is also produced with the support of the MEDIA Plus Programme of the European Community.
