HARRY AND HIS BUCKET FULL OF DINOSAURS TREADS THE BOARDS AND SETS UP SHOP

The success and popularity of the pre-school property Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs, shown in the UK on Five’s Milkshake! and Playhouse Disney, continues with the announcement of the launch of a new online store and live events tour planned for 2008. There has already been an unprecedented response by theatres to next year’s Harry theatre tour.

Harry’s theatre show is set to become a monster hit.  Over 50 theatres have already confirmed dates for next year with a significant additional number pencilling in performances. The nine- month theatre tour kicks off in February of 2008 and will play in theatres across the country until November.

“Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs already has a huge fan base, as one of the top rated pre-school programs in the UK, and the live events will only expand on that,” said Arnie Zipursky  Co-Chairman of CCI Entertainment. “Children appreciate being able to interact with the characters they love and both the Harry interactive website and the live events tour will allow them to do just that.”

Jason Francis from Premier Productions says: “We have been bowled over by the huge amount of interest in the show. Theatres realize that the strong storylines, colourful backgrounds and dinosaur characters will create a cracking show and have been rushing to sign up Harry performances.”

In addition to the theatre shows, the brand has also recently been bolstered with the launch of the new online shop, run by Digital Stores, which provides a one-stop-shop for the full range of Harry merchandise. There will be a link to the shop from the Harry website and the site can also be accessed from: www.digitalstores.co.uk/harryandhisbucketfullofdinosaurs

Target Entertainment’s Director of International Licensing Helen Howells comments: “Harry is really gaining momentum. The new site promotes all the Harry products and makes them easy for customers to find. I am delighted that the theatre show is set to be such a big success and giving Harry fans a chance to see their dinosaur friends in real life.”
