NOVOCOMEDY PROMOTES HEALTHY EATING FOR KIDS
Animated series “Nutri Ventures – The Quest for the 7 Kingdoms”
joins Novocomedy’s catalogue
Paris, 23 July 2018 – Novocomedy, distributor of funny comedy shows and clips throughout the world, is now the proud distributor of animated series “Nutri Ventures – The Quest for the 7 Kingdoms”, produced by Portugal-based Nutri Ventures.
“Nutri Ventures – The Quest for 7 Kingdoms”, composed of 52 episodes x 22 minutes, is the first children’s entertainment brand in the world developed exclusively to promote healthy eating in a positive creative environment so that kids associate good feelings with healthy food. Destined for an audience from 4 to 10 year-old children, it was produced in 2013 and aired in 47 countries, including on hulu in the USA, Disney Channel in Spain, RPT2 in Portugal and SBT in Brazil.
The series is also well know in Portugal for its partnership with fast-food chain McDonald’s through the creation of the “Nutri Ventures Happy Meal promotion”, aiming at choosing fruit and vegetable in their meals rather than other ingredients. The promotion was a huge success and McDonald’s is considering spreading the concept in other countries.
“I’ve worked with Nutri Ventures for some time now and we have a trusting relationship. Their animation is so well adapted to today’s parents desires to have their children watch quality programming bringing children the awareness of healthy food habits, says François-Xavier Poirier, Novocomedy’s CEO. ”We are all fans of the series here and strongly believe that animated series with a healthy message should be widespread. It’s a real pleasure to have this title in our catalogue”.
“We are very happy to have our cherished series in the care of Novocomedy”, says Rodrigo Carvalho, Co-Founder & Managing Partner of Nutri Ventures. “We have been working with FX and his team for quite some time and we believe they are the right partners to maximize the reach of our series, whether on traditional TV channels, airlines or local VOD platforms.”

Our objective is to use entertainment to create a positive environment around the issue of healthy eating so that children will associate good feelings with healthy food and parents will be provided with a perfect opportunity to influence their children’s diet.
