Sydney, 4th August 2005 - Beyond Distribution will offer EYEWITNESS, the Emmy Award winning Dorling Kindersley family title, as part of its slate for MIPCOM 2005.
EYEWITNESS (39 x 30') is the ultimate natural history experience for children, informing as it entertains. Whatever the subject, every animal, location and event is brought close enough to touch using an amazing combination of live-action photography, stunning graphics and animation techniques. From running with the dinosaurs to flying with the birds; hatching from an egg to journeying through the Arctic or the Solar System, EYEWITNESS takes a panoramic tour through the natural world.
Based on the internationally successful book series Eyewitness Guide, the EYEWITNESS television series has won a slate of awards including:
o Winner, Emmy Award, Outstanding Individual Achievement in Graphic Design
o Winner, US Parents Choice Award for Recommended Video Series
o Winner, Excellence Award, Children's Category by Video Home Entertainment & Entertainment UK
