Since its debut in 2013, Peter Rabbit has won a number of Emmys - known as the 'Oscars of the TV industry' - while two other Brown Bag series, Doc McStuffins and Henry Hugglemonster, were among this year's nominees.
Earlier this month, Brown Bag and London's Acamar Films Production were honoured at the International Emmy Kids' Awards for their cartoon Bing.

Brown Bag was also Oscar-nominated for Give Up Yer Aul Sins and Granny O'Grimm's Sleeping Beauty.
The company, which was founded by Cathal Gaffney and Darragh O'Connell in 1994, announced last year that it had been acquired by Canadian animation company 9 Story Media Group. Gaffney and O'Connell still lead the Brown Bag team and are executive producers on Peter Rabbit.
