Collingwood
O’Hare Entertainment has 20 years of history producing top quality,
award-winning animated series and specials for both UK and overseas
broadcasters. The company began when company founder Tony Collingwood’s
graduation film RARG attracted the attention of The Muppets’ Jim
Henson at its very first screening. The film was an instant hit and
went on to win numerous awards, including The British Animation Award’s Best Film for Children. It received a BAFTA nomination and won the outstanding achievement award for Best Short Animated Film in 1988.
RARG paved the way for the Animal Stories,
a series of 52x5-minute animated poems, affectionately narrated by the
Oscar nominated actor Sir Nigel Hawthorne. The series follows the life,
loves and problems of different members of the animal kingdom. Animal Stories won the 2001 Children’s BAFTA for Best Pre-School Animation.
Collingwood
O’Hare also produced the half-hour special Eddy & the Bear, based
on Jez Alborough’s best-selling children’s book trilogy Where’s My Teddy?, It’s the Bear and My Friend the Bear. Set
in a beautiful wood, during the perennial summer of childhood, Eddy
& the Bear is the delightful story of a little boy’s first ever
friendship - with a ten-foot tall bear! Bear is voiced by Robert
Lindsay, with Frances de La Tour narrating.

ten foot tall, talking bear. Each episode follows their daily adventures

their friendship.
