Our Brands

Peter Rabbit™ (classic)

Peter Rabbit has become a global icon, recognisable to parents, grandparents and children the world over since the publication of Beatrix Potter’s The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902.

Flower Fairies™

Since their first publication in 1923, Cicely Mary Barker’s Flower Fairies have enchanted both adults and children alike around the world. The botanically accurate drawings in the 170 original illustrations, coupled with the enchanting fairy images based on real children from Cicely’s sister’s nursery school, appeal to our innate sense of magic and wonder.

The Snowman™ and The Snowdog

The Snowman and The Snowdog, first screened in 2012, extends the appeal of the original film to a whole new generation and has introduced children to a loveable new character, The Snowdog.

Fun With Spot™

Eric Hill’s loveable puppy has been a part of everyone’s early childhood since Where’s Spot? A firm favourite with preschoolers, Spot’s toddler-like behaviour introduces children to new experiences, friendship and play.
