Squeeze partners with Beijing Time Flying Fish and Tencent to distribute Cracké in China

Squeeze is thrilled to announce its new collaboration with Beijing Time Flying Fish (BTFF), which will distribute the studio’s original series, Cracké (52 x 1 min), in China. This relationship is already proving fruitful as an agreement has been reached with Tencent, one of the largest video-sharing platforms in China. Chinese children and their families will be able to watch the zany adventures of Ed and his 8 eggs on Tencent Video’s VOD platform starting July 21st, 2018.

 “Entering the Chinese market is a huge accomplishment for our studio,” stated Denis Doré, President, Squeeze’s CEO and cofounder. “It shows that our original creations are drawing the attention of major players and can be exported around the world.” In his opinion, the Chinese market is the perfect fit for Squeeze. “Tencent Video alone has more than 600 million active users per month, giving us unparalleled visibility. We know that there is a strong interest in 3D animated content in Asia, and that the Chinese in particular are in love with animated comedy series. This series’ wacky slapstick humour fits the bill perfectly. We are extremely proud to introduce Chinese families to the world of Cracké.”

Mr. Vincent Ho of Beijing Time Flying Fish (BTFF) is equally excited about Cracké’s success in China. “Cracké’s universal appeal and high-quality animation make it the perfect series to conquer the Chinese market. We recognized this as soon as we watched the episodes and we’re excited to be distributing them. This agreement with Tencent is just the first step in the franchise’s expansion in China.”
