With the support of Screen Ireland, Pikkukala and Ink & Light launch YouTube companion vlog for Irish animated series Royals Next Door
Posted: 14th June 2022
After a successful launch of animated TV series Royals Next Door in local territories earlier this year, Pikkukala and Ink & Light have today launched a brand new vlog channel, Stella's Royal Vlog, for the series aimed at 7-12 year olds. The online audience companion series has been produced with the support of Screen Ireland’s Animation Concept & Innovation Fund.
The vlog series, written by series writer Sian NíMhuirí, features lead character Princess Stella sharing her memories and opinions about her new school, best friends and quest to find the perfect hobby. Stella takes her audience on behind the scenes tours of her home and gives tips and tricks she's learnt on her journey to live an 'ordinary' life.
"We wanted to meet our audience where they are, which is online, on Youtube specifically" says producer Pablo Jordi, "Stella's Royal Vlog gives fans of the show another opportunity to enjoy exclusive content from the characters they love".
Royals Next Door is currently airing on RTÉ2 in Ireland and YLE in Finland. New channels including Ketnet in Belgium and RTVE in Spain will begin airing the series in Autumn and Dandelooo is distributing the series.
Ink & Light (http://www.ink-and-light.com) is run by Tamsin Lyons and Leevi Lemmetty. The company has been creating content for children and family audiences from Ireland since 2012, including our recent animated series Harry & Bip (RTÉjr, Sky, Disney) and Ollie (RTÉjr, ITVBe, Ketnet).
Stella's Royal Vlog launches today Tuesday 14th June at Annecy Animation Festival, with three episodes already available on Youtube and www.royalsnextdoor.com
