BRB Internacional’s “The Imp” is about to invade France following a deal between the distributor and Canal Plus. The French broadcaster has acquired all broadcast rights—including pay TV, cable TV, Internet, and mobile—and will act as licensing agent in France for the animated series. The show is already aired in Spain on TVC, in the United States by Cartoon Network, and will be seen this year on YTV in Canada.

Winner of the MIPCOM JR/License! Global Licensing Challenge in 2006, “The Imp”—which is produced by Red Kite, Screen 21, and TVC—has been designed to adapt to multimedia formats such as mobile phones, Web, PSP, iPod, and blogs as well as traditional consumer products.
