WildBrain adds 'Nick the Mechanic' to global distribution toolbox. September 21, 2026 WildBrain has picked up global distribution rights for Polydont Films' brand-new CG-animated preschool series Nick the Mechanic (26 x 6.5'). The series will be available to buyers at MIPCOM and MIPJunior as part of WildBrain's animation slate. "We're delighted to partner with Polydont and welcome Nick the Mechanic to WildBrain's growing slate of premium kids' content," said Katie Wilson, VP, Global Sales & Acquisitions, WildBrain. "Set in a secret workshop where every toy has its own personality and story to tell, the series inspires creativity, problem-solving and the joy of discovering new possibilities in cherished toys, making it a fresh and distinctive offering for preschool buyers worldwide." Elena Lyalina, CEO & producer at Polydont Films, commented, "We're very happy to partner with WildBrain and to have Nick the Mechanic premiere with such an experienced global family entertainment company. Nick was created out of a simple idea - that a broken favorite toy doesn't have to be thrown away; it can be fixed, brought back to life and loved again. We're excited to see Nick and his friends reach kids and families around the world with WildBrain." Synopsis: What do you do when your favorite toy is broken? Well, you send it to Nick the Mechanic, of course. Nick can fix anything, everybody knows that! What nobody knows is that he can speak with toys - and they trust him with their biggest secrets. In his workshop, hidden in his parents' garage, Nick and his team give broken toys a second life. A robot, a toy truck, a pink flamingo, a little airplane, a panda, a fairy, an alien - every toy has its own story, personality and problem to solve. Together with his friends Frank, Emmy, Volt and Sherry, Nick finds creative ways to repair every toy that comes through his workshop, discovering how things work along the way. Each toy brings its own personality, challenge and surprise, as Nick and his friends inspire kids to think creatively and see the value of caring for, reusing and repurposing the things they love. The series celebrates friendship, teamwork and mutual respect, with charming toy characters and original songs adding fun to every story.
