Internationally, THE UGLY DUCKLING AND ME became an instant smash, drawing comparisons to such internationally successful animated efforts as WALLACE & GROMIT, SHREK and, more recently, RATATOUILLE. Its irreverent sense of humor has endeared THE UGLY DUCKLING AND ME to millions the world over. The show earned a nomination for "Best Youth/Children's Programme" from the Irish Film and Television Awards. It is now making its United States debut!

THE UGLY DUCKLING AND ME: SCHOOL DAYS is about a weird looking little duckling named "Ugly" who is adopted by a city rat named Ratso. Big laughs along with life's lessons are guaranteed as Ugly struggles to find his place in the world in this animated series.

Andersen himself used to joke that "The Ugly Duckling" was his most autobiographical story, but even Andersen himself , with his whimsical sense of humor, couldn't have foreseen just how whimsical (and wacky) THE UGLY DUCKLING would become. The show's free-wheeling approach appeals to older children and even adults, but without sacrificing appeal for smaller children.
