Rocket Saves the Day is a fun-filled adventure for preschoolers
and their parents based on the New York Times bestselling Rocket
book series created by Tad Hills and published by Random House
Children’s Books. The movie is a hero’s journey in which an
enthusiastic young pup, Rocket, and his new best friend, Little
Yellow Bird, embark on a quest to save their town through the power
of reading. Throughout the journey, Rocket and his friends learn
how to put letters and sounds together to make words – the building
blocks of reading. Its animation style embodies a unique and
distinctive hand-drawn look that mirrors Hills’ textured
illustrations.
“Tad Hills created such a rich and wonderful world in the Rocket
books. They engage kids’ imaginations and celebrate the joy of
learning, and we knew immediately that they would translate
beautifully to animation,” said Matthew Berkowitz, Chief Creative
Officer, Atomic Cartoons/Thunderbird and Thunderbird President.
“PBS KIDS has been an incredible partner on the production. As our
latest Atomic original release, Rocket Saves the Day exemplifies
the kind of content we aspire to bring to life— an entertaining
romp of an animated adventure, and inspiring kids to read!”
“PBS KIDS’ characters spark fun and learning, and we’re thrilled
to welcome Rocket to the family,” said Adriano Schmid, VP, PBS KIDS
Content, PBS. “We hope kids and parents will enjoy the movie
together on December 26, and build reading skills along the
way.”
Developed and written by Emmy-winning kids TV screenwriter
Rachel Lipman (Rugrats, Dinosaur Train, Hey Arnold!), Rocket Saves
the Day was adapted for television by Peabody-winning producer Lynn
Kestin Sessler. Along with Joel Bradley and Trevor Bentley for
Atomic, Tad Hills, Lynn Kestin Sessler and Rachel Bader serve as
Executive Producers. Atomic’s Heather Renney serves as Supervising
Producer.
Rocket Saves the Day is the latest owned IP (intellectual
property) announced by Thunderbird, and the Company manages and
controls global media distribution rights to the movie. Thunderbird
Distribution will debut Rocket Saves the Day to prospective
international buyers at global sales market mipcomjunior/MIPCOM,
taking place in Cannes, France, October 14 to 19, 2023.
