A syndication agreement has been signed between the owners of the program, Tayekeni Productions and Atlantic Pictures to syndicate the series across all African countries, while other language versions of the series will also be produced for distribution.

Apparently delighted with this development, Muyiwa Kayode says “We are excited about this agreement, because our vision is to develop a proudly African animation series and hopefully a popular cartoon character. Beyond that, we want African children to take pride in their cultural identity and understand diversity. It is both entertaining and educational and kids get to learn a lot about places and animals.”
