Artist Romero Britto Inspires New Series

Corus Entertainment’s Nelvana has partnered with Grey Matter and United Talent Agency to produce a new preschool series, called “Happy Art Happy Life” (working title), inspired by the work of artist Romero Britto.

The new character-driven sketch show will merge live action, animation and remote videos to introduce audiences to the world of the visual arts. It will follow Romero, a sharp-dressed bulldog (Britto’s alter ego) who lives, paints and sculpts in an exotic art studio. Alongside Romero is an animated ensemble of friends, all of whom are budding artists in various disciplines including finger paint, sculpting, street muralist and more.
