Polydont Films Presenting Trio of Kids’ Titles at MIPCOM

Elena Lyalina, Polydont Films’ CEO and producer, shares with TV Kids the company’s highlights for MIPCOM.

“A key strength of Polydont is our diverse content lineup, which allows us to engage multiple target audiences across different age groups—preschoolers, teenagers and young adults,” Lyalina says. “This versatility enables us to tailor our projects to resonate deeply with each group’s unique interests and perspectives.”

What are your top 3 program highlights for MIPCOM?

At MIPJunior, we are going to present the 3D animated series MechaNick, set to premiere in early 2026. This show offers a fresh take on entertainment by combining adventure, discovery and creative thinking, while also subtly teaching children about the importance of caring for their toys.

At MIPCOM, our focus shifts to 2D projects targeting older audiences. Mazukta and Shambabukli is a slice-of-life comedy that humorously tackles existential questions, emphasizing the idea that everyone is the creator of their own life. Roman Pigeons features a new format of ultra-short webisodes for young adults, exploring relatable everyday themes such as relationships and work through sharp, engaging storytelling.

What makes these titles stand out for international buyers?

MechaNick embodies all the key qualities of premium preschool content: high-quality 3D animation, thoughtfully developed storylines crafted with the help of experienced writers and child psychologists, and engaging narratives tailored to young viewers. Each episode also features original musical tracks, which can be marketed separately as a music collection—adding extra value for broadcasters and licensors.

Mazukta and Shambabukli offers teens an original and refreshing 2D comedy with a distinctive concept and artistic style. It’s an excellent fit for channels and platforms seeking something unique and different from mainstream youth content.

Roman Pigeons innovates with a micro-format approach: ultra-short episodes lasting up to one minute, each culminating in a powerful punchline—whether humorous, dramatic or absurd. This quick-consumption format caters perfectly to today’s fast-paced digital audiences, providing impactful storytelling that makes viewers laugh, think and engage.

What do you want our readers to know about your company’s plans, mission and goals for MIPCOM?

Although Polydont is a relatively young company, we are proud to have two groundbreaking projects already at mid or final production stages, with premieres scheduled for late 2025 and 2026. We are committed to expanding our reach internationally through innovative storytelling and high-quality content that resonates with diverse audiences worldwide.

Our main goal at MIPCOM is twofold: to secure broadcasters and distribution partners for our projects in production, and to foster new collaborations for co-productions and the development of next seasons. At the same time, MIPCOM represents a vital opportunity for us to establish partnerships for new projects such as Roman Pigeons.
