TISH TASH TO PLAY AT THE LIGHT CINEMAS

The Singapore-based Children’s entertainment provider, August Media Holdings has announced that The Light Cinemas has picked up its International Emmy Award-nominated pre-school TV animation series Tish Tash for release in The Light’s cinemas across the UK.

The cinema chain has twelve sites and offers film screenings in high-quality spaces, with a good value ticket offer. All their cinemas offer freshly ground coffee, a fully stocked bar with a range of soft and alcoholic options and guests can take their food and drinks to enjoy in the screen.

Aimed at 3-5-year-olds,  Tish  Tash is co-produced by South Korean animation shop Studio Gale, Singapore-based August  Media  Holdings, and  Korean educational public broadcaster  EBS, with contributions from BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning UK-based Karrot Entertainment.

Tish Tash follows the adventures of a young bear called Tish, her bear family, and her larger-than-life imaginary friend Tash, as they learn about the world around them. No matter what troubles they face — be it surviving long, boring car trips or helping Tish’s baby brother not to be too sad about losing his favourite toy — these special friends can create new worlds around themselves, embarking on fun adventures, while inspiring imaginative play and problem-solving in young children.

With family life at the heart of the series, sparky kid-voiced performances and genuine warmth created by believable and funny family dynamics make the stories in Tish Tash enjoyable for both kids and parents.

Tish Tash is now showing in more than a hundred countries worldwide, with additional seasons on their way and plans for new content until 2025.

Chloe Fellerman, Director of Programming at The Light:

“We are delighted to be welcoming the award-winning Tish Tash adventures to our hugely popular Toddler Time programme which runs across all our venues.  These engaging tales are ideal for our pre- school audiences who can enjoy some active viewing, share the fun with their parents and carers and get an early introduction to the  magic of the cinema. The cinemas  also offer a range of activities including soft and messy play and reading time for guests to enjoy afterwards.  It’s great for social interaction for both the kids and the parents.”

Jyotirmoy Saha, CEO of August Media Holdings says:

“I am thankful for the love children and parents from around the world have shown Tish Tash. We are excited with Tish & Tash making the journey from television and device screens to the cinemas. We hope that the screenings make for memorable outings that families will cherish for a long time.”
