Animation brand management group BKN International AG,  which dissolved a handful of years ago, may have faded into the sunset,  but many of the company's catalogue of several titles remain in search  of a good home.  Notable cartoons, like the slickly designed Foot 2 Rue (Street Football) and English-German co-production Hexe Lilli (Lilly the Witch),  have since been folded into Emba Media Management International Ltd.  (EMMI), which sprung up in the wake of BKN's insolvency.  Now, Emba  Media and its affiliates are making reasonable headway in getting its  former BKN list of cartoons back on the market.

According to a recent news release, Cyprus-based EMMI will be relying on the resources of Your Family Entertainment  (Munich, Germany), for the exclusive distribution of its catalogue  across two-dozen countries throughout Europe.  EMMI, as well as its UK  extension EMBA Media Associates  (Guildford, England), are planning to insert their diverse if slowly  aging library into new European territories.  Your Family Entertainment  has been in the German licensing and distribution business for  children's programming for nearly three decades, most recently building  momentum for its 2D adventure series Oscar the Balloonist.  

"We are pleased to be associated with Your Family Entertainment, a  recognized leader in managing children's media properties," Chris  Demetriou, Director and Owner of EMMI, commented in a press note.   "Stefan Piech [CEO, Your Family Entertainment] and his dynamic and  experienced team make YFE the ideal partner to manage the world's fourth  largest children's animation library across Europe."
