SF Studios is now in full production of a new animated TV series called Dino Deluxe that is based on Sarah Sheppard’s popular dinosaur books: Dino Deluxe, Massor av Dinosaurier and Varning för Köttgänget.
Dino Deluxe is set to become an animated infotainment show for children in the age of 3 to 7 years old. The show will consist of 10 episodes that is each 7 minutes long. Director is Kristallen nominated Pella Olsson (SagorSagor season 1 & 2). The premiere is set to be in late spring of 2021 and SF will be the distributor.
Dino Deluxe is a captivating and entertaining fact series for children, where each episode will tell facts about a specific group of dinosaurs. The series will also highlight what happened when the dinosaurs disappeared, how big they actually were, what relatives they have and how they lived.
The episodes will be followed by a crew of four ”Zalambdalestes”. These creatures look like rats but are actually one of the first mammals. Their existence can be described as “they spend their days trying to avoid becoming dinosaurs’ lunch”. These prehistoric rats are the main characters and the storytellers of the show. In each episode the rats discover a new territory that they believe will be dinosaur free – only to discover there is always a new group of dinosaurs.
Dino Deluxe will be directed by Pella Olsson, that together with the animation team also created the two seasons of the Kristallen nominated show SagorSagor, produced by SF.
“It’s so much fun to be a part of this project and in a thrilling and entertaining way teach children about dinosaurs. It feels very valuable to make a show that children can unwind to and that tells the history of dinosaurs from a different perspective.” Says Pella Olsson, director.
“We are very proud and happy to be able to produce this both educational and incredibly fun show about dinosaurs, that we hope will appeal to young and older children.” Says Ina Sohlberg, producer at SF Studios.
August price nominee Sarah Sheppard has several projects coming up this autumn. On September 8 her new book Mystiska platser & olösta mysterier was released, published by Bonnier Carlsen. Dino Deluxe will also be in an exhibition at Kulturhuset in Stockholm that will open on September 18.
Dino Deluxe is also distributed by SF Studios and is set to premiere in late spring, 2021.
