Hey, belzebuddies. Looks like the cat is out of the bag. 😅

We haven’t spilled the beans earlier since we’re still in the very early stages of development. Things are looking very promising, though, and we’re certainly humbled Variety highlighted us from over 80 projects that have been pitched at Cartoon Forum this week! 🤘

So yes, your satanic murmurs have been heard, we’re headed for the screen, but you’ll have to hold on to your belzebutts for a while, as nothing will drop before Hexmas 2022 (the earliest)! The good news is that we have a superb writer’s room assembled and we’re having a ton of fun with Pyjama Films and YLE already.

Baïdir, from Andarta Pictures (France) Earth. 2089. Flora and fauna have nearly disappeared. Resources are exhausted. One natural disaster follows another. Civilization is collapsing. The future of humanity depends on intergalactic exile to Eccoh, an inhabitable planet. Distant. Already populated. Baïdir, a young orphan, is working on the Ark, a suborbital spacecraft designed and built by the Chrysalide Corporation. He watches out for his little sister, Nayah. He hopes he can give her a better future than the hypothetical one awaiting them here on Earth. These hopes shatter like glass when Nayah gets abducted and dragged on Eccoh, to be used as an energy source to link both planets…

Goat Girl by Daily Madness Productions (Ireland) This is the story of Gigi, a 13–year-old girl who just happens to have been raised by mountain goats. But now that she’s a teenager, her Nanny and Billy think it’s time that Gigi spread her wings (er… horns?), so this year she will attend a boarding school and, for the first time in her life, spend time around actual people. GOAT GIRL is a quirky comedy with a hero who tackles every challenge with a goat-like stubbornness and strength.

Hanna & Nana by JAM Media (Ireland) Hanna & Nana follows a playful pattern and features a recurring theme to help animals in need. Each episode opens with Nana collecting Hanna from school in her little orange car (Buggie), usually Hanna or Nana have an errand to do on the way home before they get interrupted by a call from the Wild. When this happens they drop what’s going on, Nana flicks a switch, Hanna buckles up and her trusty old car Buggie reluctantly sputters and transforms into action mode. 

Howzzat by Far Creative (Estonia) After the Great Collapse, the colonies are held together by the love of cricket which is so strong, that it has influenced every aspect of society. Here cricket is not just a game but the deciding factor upon which a winning colony has political sway, funding and media dominance. Follow Luke, a cricket prodigy, and the rest of the newly formed junior squad of misfits as they attempt to restore the lowest-ranked colony team to their former glory on the road to the Cricket World Cup! Join us for an adventure in friendship, teamwork, and the love of cricket to bowl out those who would use the game and its grand prize for their corrupt agendas.

  Immobile Stars by Tripode Productions (France) Chenghua, aged 9, is preparing a school project on space travel with her best friend. She cannot find enough time to do this as she is constantly asked to translate for her parents. They do not speak French and are dependent on their child; they do not realize that they are placing too heavy a weight on her young shoulders. Chenghua can take no more and tries to break free from her family. Her desire for space and natural enthusiasm will help her take those steps.

OBO, my very spatial friend by Digiblur (France) 10 year-old Zofia and her companion-robot and best friend OBO grew up together on Earth … … Until OBO is mistakenly sent into another galaxy on the biggest space mission ever lead by Humans, all this because he happens to be the official Robostronaut’s twin brother! Luckily, OBO and Zofia are still connected: she can materialize herself as a Haptoclone in order to see, hear and interact with her environment! The most important thing is to avoid a worldwide scandal: nobody must discover OBO’s true identity!

The Olive Bunch by Pixel Giants (Cyprus) In a Mediterranean setting and a community lingering between tradition and progress, best friends Amira, Stephano and Yani search for their place in the world through carefree and inventive play. The three buddies enjoy life in occasionally mischievous journeys, but always with some adult oversight. They need freedom to try new things, but at the same time they need guidance and support. Grandma Lola’s advice comes with love, usually in the form of folk tales that connect her - in uncanny ways - to the land of the olive grove that the family owns. Outdoor play. Mystery. Sunshine.
