Duck lays $9m golden egg for Zodiak with Nick Jr dealAlso, from C21Media:
Zodiak Kids has secured a global pre-sale to Nickelodeon, for a series whose budget is thought to be in the region of $9m (£5.7m).

Quick Quack Duck, Based on Bafta-winning short film The Happy Duckling
The 52 x 11-minute 3D animation is being produced by Zodiak indie The Foundation, in partnership with creator QQD and Korean animation studio High 1 Entertainment.
It follows the adventures of an inquisitive seven-year-old boy called Remi and his devoted duck Quack. The duo live in a unique "pop-up world", where they can use tabs, pulls and other devices to trigger popups that create an interactive story.
Zodiak Kids senior vice-president of global sales and co-production Karen Vermeulen brokered the deal with Nickelodeon and MTVN Kids and Family Groups senior vice-president of global acquisitions and international programming Jules Borkent.
Zodiak MEAA/UK family and kids chief executive Nigel Pickard said a deal “of this scale” would significantly enhance the indie’s relationship with Nick Jr, following the launch of The Foundation’s pre-school series Tickety Toc on the UK channel earlier this year.
Quick, Quack, Duck!, which is based on Bafta-winning short film The Happy Duckling, is currently in pre-production.
The short's director Gili Dolev co-created the new series with Yvette Kaplan (Ice Age, Beavis & Butthead). Pickard will exec produce with The Foundation's ["Summer In Transylvania"] Vanessa Hill, alongside Kaplan and QQD’s Ronen Shani. Simon Spencer is the showrunner.
