Sesame
Street residents Bert and Ernie are about to embark on one of their most
important missions ever, in a one-hour, prime-time, comedy-adventure special
to be co-produced by Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization,
and National Geographic Television & Film’s Kids’ Programming and Production
unit. Designed to excite kids and families about their world, the project
was announced today by Donna Friedman Meir, president, Kids’ Programming
and Production for NGT&F, and Karen Gruenberg, executive vice president,
content, for Sesame Workshop.
“National Geographic has an unequaled history of introducing people of all ages to the world beyond their door,” said Gruenberg. “We look forward to collaborating on a unique program that will invite children and families on a global adventure that celebrates cultural diversity and builds geographic literacy. Sesame Workshop has a long history of providing content towards creating a global community.”
“We
are thrilled to be working with two of the most beloved characters in
children’s entertainment and one of the most respected producers of quality
children’s programming,” said Friedman Meir. “This special marks the first
collaboration between two complimentary creative entities and two of the
most trusted brands in family media and entertainment.”
Based in Los Angeles, Kids’ Programming and Production is an independent production entity of NGT&F. Established in 2003, NGT&F’s Kids’ group brings the renowned National Geographic brand to children’s entertainment through the development and production of quality animated and live-action, entertainment-driven programming that excites kids to explore their world. NGT&F’s Kids’ group will work with all major broadcast outlets in the United States and abroad.
