Since I am sitting with my friend Tara Sorenson from Nat Geo Kids, a big congratulations to her and the team for their EMMY win and nomination. Here's some info:
WASHINGTON (May 16, 2011)—National Geographic's Kids Entertainment and Mercury Filmworks' "Toot & Puddle" preschool animated series has won a Daytime Emmy® Award recognizing Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation. It also has been nominated for an Emmy® for Outstanding Directing in an Animated Program.
"'Toot & Puddle' captures National Geographic's mission to inspire kids to explore their world with two fun-loving piglets that are true adventurers at heart," said David Beal, president, National Geographic Entertainment. "This award is a testament to National Geographic's strength in the children's television space — a space we look forward to growing."
Mercury Filmworks' Art Director "Diamond" Dave Merritt of Background Design took home an Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation Award for the "Toot & Puddle" series, a Mercury Filmworks production in partnership with NGKE. The programs, based on the acclaimed picture books "Toot & Puddle," by kids author Holly Hobbie, introduce two adventurous pigs — Toot the world traveler and Puddle the backyard explorer — as they go on exciting journeys near and far. Merritt was selected as a category winner by a juried panel of peer judges.
