In 2007, the company co-produced the series Dex Hamilton: Alien Entomologist. The company also co-produced G2G: Got to Go, which aired on Australia's Nine Network in September 2008 and is currently airing on Canada's CBC-TV.[2]
In 2009, March produced its first and only 3D CGI animated movie for toymaker Playmobil, entitled The Secret of Pirate Island. The company was in production for a second DVD movie, which has since been scrapped.[3]
