"Timmy Time" to Premiere in North America On Disney Channel From September 13, 2010
Aardman Animation's Timmy Time is scheduled to air in North America from September 13, 2010 on Disney Channel's Playhouse Disney, following a special sneak preview on the evening of September 7th. Timmy Time is Aardman's first animated television project for the preschool audience, and the stop-motion series has already enjoyed great success in its first season of broadcast overseas.
Timmy Time follows the adventures of Timmy, a little lamb with a lot to learn as he enters preschool. Fans of Aardman's hit children's series Shaun the Sheep will recognize Timmy as the baby lamb on the farm who is frequently drawn into all kinds of chaotic adventures by the mischievous older sheep. Used to having his way by being "the only lamb in the flock", Timmy is now heading to preschool to graze on some important life lessons about playing nicely with others, namely his fellow classmates of the furry, feathered and spiky types.
Episodes portray all aspects of a preschooler's day that are familiar to parents- painting, puzzling, making music, building with blocks, napping, snacking and more- through strong but simple storylines that are told with human dialogue, instead using a unique combination of expressive character animation, gesture and reactions, comedy and slapstick, bleats, quacks, oinks and the like.
While being entertained by Timmy's fun and fleecy antics, the young audience members will benefit by seeing important social skills in action, such as how to help someone in need, how to good sports, and how to respect others. Creator/Producer/Supervising Director Jackie Cockle (BAFTA winner, producer on Bob the Builder, director of The Wind in the Willows, among other television credits) believes that "preschoolers can easily identify with Timmy as he learns universal lessons about himself, his friends and the world around him".
Check local television listings for exact airtimes, and to find out more about Timmy, his classmates, and the show, visit www.timmytime.tv.
Timmy fans can look forward to his first DVD release in early 2011 from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment, who also distribute the DVD releases of Shaun the Sheep, the second fastest-growing children's brand on DVD in 2009. Timmy toys will also be available in Spring 2011 from JAKKS Pacific.
The Disneyana Exchange
What is the Disneyana Exchange?
Simply stated, The Disneyana Exchange Service is a secondary market art brokerage, focusing on the art of the Walt Disney Company. The Exchange started business in 1988, but wasn't known as the Disneyana Exchange until June 1993. The Exchange was founded by Disney collectors who wanted to be able to provide a service where buyer and seller are brought together for rare and hard-to-find Disney collectibles. Since its inception, the Internet and online auction sites like Ebay have revolutionized the buying and selling of collectibles. However, within the Disney collectibles industry, similar problems still remain: 1) How do you know what you are buying? ; 2) How do you guarantee the quality and authenticity of a product? ; and 3) Where do you go when there are no listings online? The Disneyana Exchange provides the family-run service and expertise that cannot be found elsewhere. The Exchange prides itself on linking buyer and seller for high-end Disneyana collectibles and inspects each piece for its quality and authenticity.
