When Ukraine was invaded and production stopped on Season 2, we were determined to not let this fantastic IP disappear from the collective minds of the licensing and broadcast industries, and Big Picture is very pleased to have been able to broker the equity acquisition deal between WildBrain and Glowberry & their co-production partner Anima Kitchent.

Big Picture Licensing as the EMEA / APAC master-agent and UK agent on the property has been proud to support Brave Bunnies develop over the last 3yrs and help its licensor Glowberry. Many milestones were hit as S1 launched and tier #1 partners signed on incl; Aardman, Spin Master, Penguin Random House, PMI, Milkshake!, Nick Jr, Cartoon Network/Cartoonito, SuperRTL, ABC, Clan, HBO Max, the best licensing agents and too many more to list here.

Brave Bunnies will always have a special place with Big Picture as the only global kids property from Ukraine and we know it’s new home as part of the WildBrain family and portfolio means it has a very bright and long-term future for kids, parents, broadcasters, licensees and retailers alike. Oh and Season 2 production is now back on track and re-commenced which is great news for all parties.

Thank you again to all our Brave Bunnies partners for your continued patience through this challenging time, thank you also to Total Licensing and LicensingSource for all your support in helping keep the brand awareness during the last 8mths. It’s been emotional…

As the Brave Bunnies family say, “Let’s Go!”

Big Picture Licensing brings Hardline Comics’ flagship title to a new publishing partner.

Hardline Comics and Big Picture Licensing, its exclusive licensing agent, have signed an agreement with Soaring Penguin Press to publish Mahoney’s, the widely popular comic book described as “Cheers meets Super-Villains.”

Mahoney’s is an action comedy by writer Rich Carrington and artist Brian Dawson, set in the titular bar for Super-Villains (imagine a mixture of Cheers meets The Suicide Squad). The book features a large cast of colorful characters like Mike, Kat, Bloodgeon, Vileofax, The Flamer, Snowstorm and The Blender and mixes classic comic book action with plenty of heart and plenty of laughs. Mahoney’s may be a hive of scum and villainy – but they serve the best craft beers in town. We’ll see you at the bar!  Mahoney’s issues #1 and #2 both debuted at the No.1 spot on the Comichaus app chart. Mahoney’s stayed #1 in the chart for two months, beating off new releases such as Vampirella and Judge Dredd. Issue #2 was featured in the Comics of the Year list on the Pipedream Comics website. 

Hardline Comics is a small press publisher based in the UK and US and is the home of comic books including The Claws, Limits, The Guys and The Long Game.

Soaring Penguin Press is an Ignatz and Eisner nominated publisher of comics and graphic novels including Meanwhile, Breaks and The Bad, Bad Place.
