Santa Barbara – based Foothill Entertainment, Inc. has announced a strategic alliance to co-produce the original and delightful series, Gododo. Created by Ian Ellery and Guy Hallifax of UK/Canadian team, Phew!!, Foothill is joining forces with Neptuno Films of Spain and Title Entertainment of Canada to bring this one-of-a-kind vision alive.
Despite reports to the contrary, there is one dodo still out there – somewhere. Yes, Gododo is far from extinct. He is alive and well, but thoroughly lost. Hardly helped by an inept Narrator, Gododo and his companion Ducky follow the arrows. The arrows must lead somewhere and mean something, mustn’t they? Of course they do! They lead to the next hilarious and surreal adventure! They mean a lot of visual gags and great fun. “We are thrilled to be working on this incredible program with these two well respected production companies”, says Jo Kavanagh-Payne, President of Foothill. “We absolutely adore this property and we are excited to see it come alive with the help of Neptuno Films and Title Entertainment”.

The company currently constitutes one of the largest fully-fledged studios in Europe and ranks second in the list of most prolific European studios. “We feell as though this property is going to be a driving force in the pre-school market”, says Cristina Brandner, Managing Director of Neptuno. “We are delighted to work with Title Entertainment, along with Foothill, and are excited to see where this unique story take us”. Neptuno Films was also chosen as one of the top 10 international animation studios outside of the USA by Animation Magazine.
