Writer Niamh’s monster success story
BASED on Niamh Sharkey’s award-winning children’s book, I’m a Happy Hugglwug, a new cartoon series, Henry Hugglemonster, premieres on Disney Junior next Friday. Aimed at pre-schoolers, the 52-episode series is produced in Ireland by Brown Bag Films and centres on Henry, who lives with his family in Roarsville.
Distinctively animated, the show is voiced by Geri Halliwell, Brenda Blethyn, and Brian Blessed (a cult figure on children’s TV for his turn as Grampy Rabbit in Peppa Pig). It will be broadcast in the UK, Ireland and the US.
