About this deal

CBBC and FremantleMedia have announced the production of a brand new comedy series for children, Strange Hill High. Mitchell accidentally erases himself from history after deleting his school record. At first his anonymity is fun but when his friends forget him and he starts to disappear, he calls on Samia, the one person who can remember him, to help reboot his existence. Strange Hill High, an all-but-forgotten inner-city school filled with fantastical secrets and outlandish mysteries, has been created using ‘hypervynorama’, a groundbreaking new animation technique that combines Japanese vinyl toy design and puppetry with stop-motion animation and computer generated imagery (CGI). Emma Kennedy, speaking to the British Comedy Guide, said: "I can honestly say, I have NEVER been more excited about a project. The puppets look incredible and even though it's a show primarily aimed at children it's very clear from the work shop days we've done already that it's going to have the same sort of appeal as Simpsons/ South Park/ Family Guy. It's extremely ambitious. I think it has the potential to be huge."

Mitchell is bitten by a rabid Deputy Head and, every time the school bell rings, transforms into the disciplinarian were-teacher, Mr. Tanner. If the curse isn't lifted before Mr. Tanner signs a permanent contract, Mitchell could be doomed to spend the rest of his life as a teacher at Strange Hill! Grange Hill – unrelated 1978–2008 British television children's drama series that also takes place at a school It's my favourite thing that I've ever done - even more than The Simpsons," says head writer Josh Weinstein, who penned some of the Springfield clan's most memorable episodes - 'Who Shot Mr Burns?' , '22 Short Films About Springfield' and more - and worked as showrunner on the long-running animation from 1995 to 1998. Mitchell must pass the 'Hardest Maths Assignment Ever'. He cheats and ends up earning the mythical grade of 101%, breaking maths and the world as we know it in the process.Writing on the series is being headed by Josh Weinstein, a former executive producer and writer of The Simpsons and Futurama. Emma Kennedy, Ben Teasdale, Georgia Pritchett and two American writers are scripting the show. Filming is set to begin later this year. A funny, clever and contemporary adventure, Strange Hill High sees the students attempt to solve the mysteries of their strange school, with hilarious results. It’s weird, it’s cool, it’s school!

The students meet a variety of people involved in the oddities of their school, but have to be wary of some of the students and faculty members - mainly Mr. Abercrombie, who is easily angered by any disturbance. Strange Hill High is a British children's puppet-animated series for CBBC. The show is a co-production between CBBC, FremantleMedia and Factory. Described by production company Yoshimi & Katoi as " Grange Hill meets The Muppets in South Park", Strange Hill High is set in a near-forgotten inner-city school where strange is normal. The show follows three friends who take it upon themselves to investigate their school's paranormal, mysterious and other-worldly occurrences.

Strange Hill High - King Mitchell

The best thing about it is its sense of energy and fun. I love the puppets, the sets are incredible and the storylines are incredibly inventive." It's Valentine's Day and whilst attempting to sabotage Abercombie's zero tolerance to romance, our trio discover a portal to the inside the Head's head! What at first seems like the best thing ever soon turns into a nightmare as the bullies gain control of the Headmaster. The only way to stop them is to test the old adage: the heart rules the head. Strange Hill High's computers are hopelessly out of date - breaking down, going up in smoke, and simply falling apart. But with the new technology at the school, it seems all too perfect and it's up to Mitchell and his friends to find out what's behind the changes. When the trio gets tossed into detention on a snowy day, they're put in charge of cleaning the old and cramped Science Room. While cleaning, they discover a device that soon takes things out of proportion.

Things have been disappearing at Strange Hill High, and Mitchell finds himself as the prime suspect. Can he clear his name and find out who the real perpetrator is?

Josh Weinstein comments: “I've worked in animation my whole life and I've never seen a show as groundbreaking as Strange Hill High. And when the ground breaks at Strange Hill, you never know what will come out." It's Aprils Fool's day and Mitchell is pranking in overdrive. Before too long he's pranked everyone and unleashed a dormant beast of Embarrassment that lives under the school. Mitchell must save his friends - and Tyson - from 'The Embarrassment's' disgusting lair by going toe to toe in a shameful game show. With a mysterious book at the cause of many students' disappearances at Strange Hill High, Mitchell and his friends investigate the creepy, dark, and lonely school library.
