Cake to handle distribution of Ready Jet Go!

Jun 29th, 2015Off The Press

Leading kids entertainment specialist CAKE is set to internationally distribute
Wind Dancer Films’ brand new PBS KIDS series READY JET GO! outside the U.S.

READY JET GO! follows two neighborhood kids: Sean, who has an all-consuming drive for
science facts, and Sydney, who has a passion for science fiction and imagination. They both
befriend the new kid on their street, Jet Propulsion, whose family members happen to be
aliens! Together, they embark on great adventures, exploring the solar system and learning
about space and science, but Jet always makes sure he has them back just in time for
dinner!

The series was created by Craig Bartlett, creator of PBS KIDS’ DINOSAUR TRAIN and
Nickelodeon’s Hey Arnold! and produced and financed by Wind Dancer Films, major
producer of motion pictures What Women Want, Bernie and TV series Home
Improvement, Roseanne, with assistance and curriculum support from scientists at the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

The animated series will premiere in the U.S. on PBS KIDS on 15 February 2016. READY
JET GO! is designed to inspire an interest in astronomy, earth science and technology for
kids ages 3-8. Wind Dancer Films is currently in production for 40 half-hour episodes of
the series.

As a child’s first introduction to space and earth science, READY JET GO! uses inventive
visuals and upbeat songs to engage, entertain and make young viewers laugh and learn.
Their experience will be further enhanced through a dynamic website, a creative digital app
and interstitial video elements for use in both broadcast and digital formats.

CAKE has been appointed to handle worldwide distribution outside the US; and Canada (but
including broadcast rights for the latter), and will introduce the series at MIPCOM.

Managing Director and COO, Ed Galton from CAKE said, “Under the passionate direction
of Craig Bartlett and Dete Meserve, this project has evolved into a great entertaining
character lead series with strong curriculum elements but above all, great stories with
humour that will appeal to our young viewers. We are looking forward to bringing, what
promises to be a highly entertaining show, to international audiences.”

Wind Dancer Films’ President, Dete Meserve, said, “We are very excited to be working
with Ed and Tom and the entire dedicated Cake Team to bring Ready Jet Go! to young
audiences around the world.”
