Exclusive: French content group Superprod, which previously worked on hit kids shows such as Batwheels and Paddington, and Tfou, the children’s programming arm of the TF1 Group, are partnering on animated show Vet Academy.

The show will follow the adventures of five young veterinary apprentices, known as the V Team, as they embark on rescue missions to save and heal animals in distress, such as a puma caught in a trap, a baby whale exposed to toxic chemicals and a panda being kidnapped by a mad scientist.

The original 3D CGI series consists of 52 episodes running 11-minutes each and is aimed at the four to seven-year-old demographic.

The young veterinarians in training will move heaven and earth to rescue and heal any animal in danger. Their school which is entirely dedicated to animal rescue and welfare is located on Harmony Island, a place of rich landscapes and extraordinary wildlife.
