A relatively young player in the kids’ market, PGS Entertainment was founded in 2008 with the focus of supporting the distribution and financing for leading independent animation producers. The company has been selective with its slate, representing a smaller number of titles, including iconic brands such as The Little Prince, Iron Man: Armored Adventures and Chaplin & Co. PGS is firmly focused on the distribution and brand management of third-party shows, rather than on producing its own content.

Philippe Soutter, co-founder and president of PGS, talks with TV Kids Weekly about this business model. He also shares examples of how the company helps the producers that it represents get around some of the financing issues in the market to get their shows to the screen.
