Sony Pictures Television (SPT) has acquired preschool animation series Sydney Sailboat from Australia’s Essential Media and Entertainment.

Previously known as Bubble Bath Bay, the 52x11’ animated series is currently screening on NBC Sprout’s breakfast slot in the US and returns to Australia’s ABC KIDS morning slot on 4 April 2016.
“We are thrilled that young children in these new territories will discover Sydney Sailboat and are confident the Tiny Pop audiences will engage enthusiastically with the universal characters and storylines,” said Carmel Travers, head of family, Essential Media.
Sydney Sailboat was commissioned by ABC KIDS and co-produced in Australia, Malaysia and Ireland. It was produced by Carmel Travers and directed by Steve Trenbirth.
