Magic Light Pictures’ brand manager, Hollie Bladen, said: “We are delighted to be taking Pip and Posy on the road. They got a fantastic response appearing at this year’s Leicester Playday and Bristol Harbour Festival , and we’re keen for them to meet as many kids across the UK as possible. We’re delighted that these top level shopping centres are embracing the brand and we hope to extend Pip and Posy’s tour to reach as many people as possible.”
Magic Light Pictures holds the global distribution and merchandising rights to Pip and Posy and has launched a full consumer products programme to complement the property. Products already rolling out include tie-in publishing from Nosy Crow, as well as puzzles from Ravensburger, dress up with Amscan, audio figurines with Tonies and home accessories.
In September 2023 Magic Light appointed Bandai as master toy licensee in a deal covering UK and Eire with an option to extend across Europe. The Pip and Posy characters have also appeared in Milkshake! Live, headlining Parkdean Resorts’ Milkshake! Mornings at key times during the season and have been touring nationwide throughout 2023.
