Eight aspiring young vets will work with Doctor Assin in the new 12-episode series

Kids Vet Academy, the hit live-action show in which a group of eight aspiring vets between the ages of 10 and 13 get to train with real animals, is back!

Season two has been available as a boxset premiere on Rai Play from 23 September and can be seen every day at 8.10am on Rai Gulp from Monday 3 October.

This successful and popular show for under-14s brings eight curious, resourceful, and courageous young animal lovers together with Doctor Renato Assin, a passionate veterinarian and popular science star, to find out more about what it means to be a vet, a profession they’ve dreamed of since they were small.

It’s a fast-paced and engaging show which uses clear, understandable language to show how experts treat and care for animals, with the help of more than 50 little patients from a variety of animal species and homes – including wildlife parks, small sanctuaries, farms, shelters and veterinary clinics.

In fact the 12 new episodes will see our little would-be vets visit the Ark of the Chameleons, the Wolf Refuge, Abatino Park, the Alpaca Plain, Poggio Nebbia Farm, the 4th Mounted Carabinieri Regiment and, of course, the Academy’s headquarters. The aspiring animal doctors will visit – and help to treat – dogs, cats, rabbits and piglets as well as dromedaries, alpacas, horses, ostriches, zebu, monkeys, roe deer, giant millipedes, snakes and many other species!

As well as Renato Assin the programme stars Marina Borgonovo, Alessandro Caputi, Eva Del Grande, Michelle Gallo, Ermanno Longo, Matilde Marzetti, Jacopo Misso and Vasco Kien Nicoletti.

Kids Vet Academy has been developed by Annalisa Del Grande and Federica Petruccioli, with creative direction by Alessandra Cortese. It is produced by TV Com of Rome in collaboration with Rai Kids.

“Kids Vet Academy is unique,” explains Maurizio Distefano, president of the Maurizio Distefano Licensing agency, licensing agent for Italy for the property. “It is a reality show with a strong educational component that allows children to get closer to the world of animals, learn about them and care for them. We are delighted that it is part of our portfolio and thrilled that we are building a strong licensing programme based on the success of the series.”

 

The collection will be available for Fall/Winter 22-23 season and it is Made in Italy

To BE Too, a brand produced and distributed by Casillo Group, presents the new Fall Winter 22-23 collection: a breath of fresh air that, through the warm and delicate tones of chocolate, vanilla and milk, launches the Back To School season with a modern and romantic collection for little girls. The garments range from sporty looks and to bon-ton and super fashionable outfits. Tulle, feathers, and lurex are paired with everyday fabrics such as denim and knits for a sporty-chic effect that has always been the hallmark of the brand. The colour palette includes delicate nuances such as milk white, beige and pink contrasted with bright tones of fuchsia, turquoise and orange, a casual style that doesn’t go unnoticed.

Among the important new additions to the Fall Winter 22-23 collection, To be Too offers an exclusive capsule entirely Made In Italy, created in collaboration with Charlotte M., the Italian content creator, Youtuber and TikToker who at only 14 years old has her own successful brand and boasts a digital community of more than one million followers. Young, ironic and fashionable, with a passion for acting, music, dancing, singing, writing and a unique artistic streak, Charlotte M. is one of the fastest rising talented teenagers in the social world and more generally in the artistic, literary and musical fields.

Maurizio Distefano, President of Maurizio Distefano Licensing agency says, “For Charlotte M., and for us who represent her WW, 2022 has been a very important year from the licensing point of view: high quality Charlotte M. products have been launched, with fun and trendy graphics that always meet fans’ tastes, To Be Too collection is an example. Charlotte’s enthusiasm and qualities are the driving force behind her success: this capsule collection represents the dream of every fashion-addicted teenager who mirrors herself in the content creator, and the collaboration with To Be Too has been invaluable in making it all come true.”

 

Her popularity is unstoppable and thanks to her simple and direct style she has quickly won the hearts of her fans and of To Be Too, with whom she has created a capsule that fully reflects her style. The looks bring back the iconic and representative elements chosen and designed by Charlotte such as the ever-present pink flamingo that is on the three garments designed by her just for the brand.  A sporty and impactful look bearing Charlotte’s signature on the cropped sweater, sweatshirt and jogger made in three different colours: white, turquoise and pink.

 

To Be Too’s Fall Winter 22-23 collection is divided between the Baby collection, available from ages 3 to 8, and the Junior collection, dedicated to teenage girls and available from ages 9 to 16.

 

For her flamingos (as Charlotte calls her fans) it will be impossible to be without this collection for back-to-school!
