Magic Light’s Zog set to charm US audiences

Amazon Prime viewers can now stream or download the hit animated short film.

Magic Light Pictures has rolled out its latest animated short film – Zog – on Amazon Prime in the US.

The release marks the US broadcast premiere for the International Emmy-nominated Zog, which has already proved popular internationally with a raft of sales to major broadcasters across Europe, Asia and Australia.

Zog – which is based on the book by Julia Donaldson – originally premiered in the UK on BBC One on Christmas Day 2018 and was the fourth-highest rated programme on the day, achieving 8.8m viewers (including repeat) and the highest share of any programme in the week 24-30 December [source: Broadcast].

The sequel – Zog and the Flying Doctors – has recently been announced as the Christmas 2020 collaboration between Magic Light and BBC One.

“Zog proved a great festive favourite with UK viewers last Christmas, and we’re sure that American audiences will take him to their hearts as well,” said Michael Rose, co-founder of Magic Light Pictures. “It’s a wonderful, empowering story of friendship and adventure that is perfect family viewing for the holiday season.”
