HOME MOVIES

General Information

Time: 52 Episodes - 30 Minutes
Produced by: Tom Snyder Productions
Available: Worldwide excluding the U.S. & Canada




HOME MOVIES is a hit series, seen in America on The Cartoon Network. The popular show is the story of a creative third grader, Brendon Small, who makes his own movies with a video camera. His funny "films" express his emotions and his conflicts and feature his friends, his teachers and his recently divorced mom, Paula. Brendon writes, directs acts and often enlists his neighborhood friends to participate in his short "films", much as his idol, Steven Spielberg, did as a boy. VARIETY says: "HOME MOVIES manages to set itself apart offering clever dialogue and sharp social commentary". It's delightful and also very funny. Brendon Small's misadventures present a wonderful exposition of youth and creativity along with sharp social commentary.


LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE'S A VERY ANIMATED CHRISTMAS

General Information

Time: 30 Minutes
Produced by: Batfilm Productions and The Fremantle Corporation in association with Tribune Media Services, Inc.
Available: Worldwide


Annie and Sandy return in an all new holiday special. In this special, “Little Orphan Annie” is trying to bring the spirit of Christmas into the heart of Oliver Warbucks. She must make him see there is more to life than money; such as family and friends. Like “Scrooge,” Warbucks is visited by three ghosts in the middle of the night -- a former employee, The Asp, “Annie” as a teenager and “Ann” as an adult. They take Warbucks on a journey through time and show him the future of the little girl and her dog. When he awakens, he is a changed man! Warbucks knows what he must do: become Daddy Warbucks, save the little girl and give her a home. He finally understands the meaning of Christmas.
