It’s the #1 show on YLE and #3 on SKY (just behind Games of Thrones).
STUNNING VISUALS
The lavishly produced CGI series (each episode costing approx. 1 million euros), made with state-of-the-art 3D CGI with 4K deliverables, targets both family and kids with breathtaking shots.
PRAISED BY THE INDUSTRY
The premium series, which has seen amazing performances over the last few months, is being recognized by the industry and has already received prestigious awards, including:
- TBI Content Innovation Awards, Best Animated Kids Programme;
- British Animation Awards, Best Children’s Series; and
- Seiyu Awards, Best Kids/Family Voice Talent.
MASSIVE FRANCHISE
The brand has an incredible 75-year legacy and remains one of the top licensing brands in the world (same revenue as Lego’s!). Based on the original Moomin books by Tove Jansson, the brand continues to grow through the CP program extension with hundreds of new licensees, new seasons, a theme park that has brought more than a million visitors under a year, and a major theatrical in the works!
We would love to schedule a call with you in the upcoming week to touch base on the properties.
Best regards,
Philippe & Guillaume
