Princess Pring (Korean: 프린세스 프링; RR: peulinseseu peuling; also known as Princess Pring in the Birthday Kingdom) is a Korean Media franchise created in 2012 by Korean toy company Loco Entertainment. The franchise features the titular character Princess Pring, a Rabbit Girl who cheers up children during their birthdays, sometimes helping them with their problems in the most fun of ways.

A Musical Fantasy Animated Series based on the franchise is produced by the company and aired on KBS1 from December 19, 2015 to July 16, 2016. A second season is currently in development.

History

The franchise was created by Loco Entertainment in 2012 with funding from the Korea Creative Content Agency as part of both the "New Character Business Support" and "Character Life Project" for a variety of character goods such as toys, plush toys, publishing and cutlery. It also received praise in the Seoul Character Licensing Fair in 2013 and 2014.[1] In December 32, 2014, KBS Kids aired a special based on the series[2] and, in May 2015, investments from KTH were made for funding a full series.[3] The series was later made and broadcast on KBS1 from December 19, 2015 to July 16, 2016. The animated series, which is animated purely in CGI, is in the style of a musical adventure, with songs composed by Hwang Gun-dan of ButterFly music studios, with the music played by a real orchestra. Producer Yang Hyeon-jin has explained that both music and animation synergize together in the series to reflect the tone of each scene.[4]
