Abstract
"Miss BG" is adapted from the acclaimed "Gudule & les Bebes" book collection published in France by Hachette-Jeunesse, authored by Fanny Joly and illustrated by Roser Capdevilla. "Miss BG" is a co-production between ELLIPSANIME, Breakthrough Animation, TVO, TFO (Canada) and France 5. Aimed at kids ages 5-8, the popular 3D animated TV series centers around the world of "Miss BG" (short for Big Girl), a precocious eight-year-old girl who sees it as her mission to teach her younger brother George the ways of the world. Being unlike any average 8-year-old, "Miss BG" has a very unique point of view as to how the world works. Many heartfelt and comical lessons in life are shared between her family and friends along the way. "Miss BG" is an official Canada/France co-production with Breakthrough Animation, ELLIPSANIME, TVO/TFO and France 5. Breakthrough Entertainment is the distribution division for all Breakthrough Animation properties, including "Miss BG."
