Officially launched today by New Zealand’s Minister of Health Hon. Tony Ryall, B4 School Checks ensure children are ready for school and identify any physical, emotional and social issues that could impact on a child’s ability to learn and often have life-changing outcomes for children and their families.

Co-Founder of Weta Workshop, Sir Richard Taylor said “When we began speaking to the Ministry of Health about the B4 School Check initiative, we knew it was something the WotWots had to be a part of.  We hope with the WotWots involvement, it encourages more parents to take their young ones in for a health check so they can have every opportunity to grow and learn.”

The partnership will see every child going in for a B4 School Check receive a free the WotWots colouring in, activity or board book and a sticker.  the WotWots will also be featured on B4 School Check resources and the partnership appear together at the Parent and Child Show in Auckland at the end of September.  A the WotWots ringtone will also be available for download at www.thewotwots.com and DottyWot and SpottyWot will appear at early childhood centres across New Zealand.

the WotWots
the WotWots is an enchanting pre-school series that follows the adventures of two adorable siblings from outer space, SpottyWot and DottyWot. This delightful pair of enquiring minds have come to Earth to explore and to marvel at the extraordinary diversity of life on the blue planet. The show celebrates this joy of discovery and demonstrates the positive values that are the building blocks of a true and enduring friendship.

Currently in production of its second series and with a broadcast deal already signed with US Broadcaster The Hub for the next 26 x 11 show, the internationally successful brand was awarded the merit based on:
“This import from New Zealand is reminiscent of Teletubbie-like innocence and simplicity without the surreal, spoof-worthy concepts…. The integration of computer animation and live action is extremely well done by the same team that did “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. The show, which features very simple themes like “Slurpy Lurpy Lips,” and “Lumpy Bumbies” makes for a nice introduction to this type of media-it’s short, it’s sweet and uncomplicated…”.

“We are honoured to have the quality of our TV programme recognised by Parents’ Choice Awards – earlier this year the foundation awarded us a seal of approval for our first free e-book, ‘Lanky Landing Legs’ available at iTunes stores globally. The Parents’ Choice Awards website is a go to tool for parents in search of quality unbiased entertainment options for their children so to see the WotWots featured in two categories is a massive brand achievement”, said Co-Founder of Weta Workshop, Sir Richard Taylor.

With broadcasts in 89 territories including the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Korea, Middle East and Poland, the WotWots was recently sold to HBO Family Latin America for PAY-TV and VOD rights. American Greetings Properties recently signed on for the worldwide licensing and merchandising rights to the popular preschool property.

Pukeko Pictures today announced everyone’s favourite alien duo, SpottyWot and DottyWot, from the internationally successful children’s animation series, the WotWots, is close to completing production on a second series.

The second 26 episode series will see the lovable little aliens explore life by the sea and farmyard animals and has already been confirmed for broadcast on The Hub in the US.

“We are pleased to announce production on the second series of the WotWots.  This series will see SpottyWot and DottyWot discover animal life at the beach and on the farm – two distinctive settings that are endearing to children and that young ones can interact with in real life.  Children the world over are embracing the series and the unique cuddly characters and the pick-up of series two by The Hub is testament to this” said co-founder of Weta Workshop, Sir Richard Taylor.
