Planeta Junior, a leading European family entertainment company, producer Isla Audiovisual and multinational corporation Sony Music have joined forces to co-produce a live-action series that will bring children closer to the music their parents listen to. \u201cOliver Rock\u201d is based on the peculiar universe of Oliver\u2019s dreams – and this boy\u2019s dreams sound like a rock band trapped inside a labyrinth. The series is designed for 7-12 year olds – few attractive projects are tailored to this segment.<\/p>\n
Based on an original idea by Isla Audiovisual, \u201cOliver Rock\u201d has strong visual appeal that blends a variety of styles with action, comedy and a lot of music-based attitude. The stars of the series are one of the best rock groups on the planet: \u201cThe Olivers\u201d. Bravo is the superhero singer; Brinco plays acoustic guitar, Black Flash is crazy about street sport and Beta is an android. Together they have loads of adventures reflecting the interests and concerns of any tween. The Billy Boom Band stars in every episode. This real rock group is formed by the members of La Sonrisa de Julia, whose first album \u201cPasarlo Bien\u201d (Good Times) is already on sale, and who will compose songs especially for the series.<\/p>\n
Comprising 26 episodes of 22 minutes, the series has an innovative format that will include music videos, street sport, puppets and surprising digital effects to complement the adventures of the four heros.<\/p>\n
\u201cOliver Rock\u201d is the first live-action series produced by Planeta Junior. The company is responsible for marketing the series and its licenses worldwide, and presented the production at MipTV, where it was very warmly received. Sony Music, Isla Audiovisual and Planeta Junior will start production on \u201cOliver Rock\u201d this sumer.<\/p>\n
Ignacio Segura de Lassaletta, Director General at Planeta Junior, noted: \u201cAlthough we have worked with music-based series, this is the first time we will co-produce a live-action series with this profile. I can\u2019t think of better partners than Sony Music and Isla Audiovisual to create a format that I believe the market has been asking for for some time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Barbat, President of Sony Music Iberia remarked: \u201cMusic content for young audiences has been a strategic business area for Sony Music Espa\u00f1a for some time. When we discovered the Billy Boom Band and its TV incarnation – Oliver Rock, we immediately wanted to be part of this amazing adventure, through which we again hope to change the rules of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
David Garc\u00eda, Director General at Isla Audiovisual added \u201cFor Isla Audiovisual, \u201cOliver Rock\u201d is a strategic project and an incredible adventure. And you need to have the best people on board your adventures. Our partners Planeta Junior and Sony Music are hard to beat. Together we are going to work to make \u201cOliver Rock\u201d a benchmark for children\u2019s content.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
