Annecy Spotlight: Magic Light Pictures

Tiddler, based on the book of the same name by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, leads Magic Light Pictures’ Annecy slate.

Tiddler follows a little fish who is lost at sea and saved by his own imagination. “It’s a vibrant and imaginative underwater adventure with themes of creativity, storytelling and self-expression that resonate with audiences of all ages,” says Muriel Thomas, international distribution director.

The preschool series Pip and Posy, now in production on three new stand-alone seasonal specials, centers on the world of a mouse and rabbit whose lives revolve around play. It “continues to delight young viewers with its gentle humor, relatable stories and warm celebration of friendship and emotional learning,” Thomas says.

The catalog also features The Gruffalo, another IP based on a book from Donaldson and Scheffler.

Thomas adds, “Our projects are grounded in universal themes—friendship, adventure, curiosity—that resonate across cultures.”
