MIPJunior Spotlight: Mediatoon Distribution

Mediatoon Distribution is bringing a pair of animated series commissioned by Canal+ to MIPCOM.

Sardine in Outer Space follows the titular character and her crew in their fight against the villain Supermuscleman and his evil sidekick Dr. Krok. The show was adapted from a book series with over 1,500 pages of kids’ adventures. “The use of bright colors and short format allow young children to enter into the world of space travel,” says Jérôme Alby, Mediatoon Distribution’s managing director.

Tom and Lili is also based on a series of books, and it tells the story of the eponymous characters who live in their family restaurant. “Although we frequently look to the future to discover new trends, our two featured programs this year reflect the re-creation of previously well-known brands in publishing,” says Alby.

He adds, “With over 3,000 hours’ worth of programs in our current catalog, we cater to a range of targets, from preschool to teens and all the ages in between.”
