HARRY LIVE! PROVES TO BE AN INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS
HARRY AND HIS BUCKET FULL OF DINOSAURS LIVE EVENTS TAKING OFF IN THE UK AND CANADA

CCI’s successful preschool property, Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs continues to receive incredible response to its live event initiatives in Canada and the United Kingdom. Both events launched last month and large crowds of Harry fans flocked to the venues to experience a Dino World adventure for themselves.

The Harry Live! Tour in the UK was brokered by Target Entertainment and is produced by Premier Productions. The show features interactive adventures that take children into Dino World with Harry and his six best dinosaur friends. Due to the demand of Harry fans, the tour has been extended until November 2008 with now over 100 engagements, and is expanding into venues in Scotland. The tour supports the sold out television series that continues to garner great ratings on Five and Disney in the UK, Treehouse and Teletoon in Canada, Super RTL Germany, and France 5 among others.

Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs has also just completed a 10 day live event at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto during spring holidays. Tens of thousands of children came out to take their picture in Dino World, uncover fossils in the Dino Digs, and become “Dino Smart!” like Harry. The success of the program further solidifies the connection that Harry continues to make with children around the world.

“It was thrilling to watch firsthand as children interacted with Harry and his dinosaur friends,” said Jennifer Bennett, Executive Vice President Licensing, CCI Entertainment. “We intend to extend this opportunity to even more children by expanding the program’s reach to similar venues in other communities.”

Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs is based on the popular books by Ian Whybrow and Adrien Reynolds, and is produced by Toronto-based CCI Entertainment and London-based Collingwood O’Hare Entertainment in association with London-based Silver Fox Films.o.ca.

CCI Entertainment Ltd. (Cambium Catalyst International) is one of Canada's leading independent production and distribution companies, particularly recognized in the area of family programming.
