Studio 100 Media has kicked off production on the feature film Maya the Bee 3: The Golden Orb, which is being made in collaboration with Studio B Animation and Flying Bark Productions.

Maya the Bee 3: The Golden Orb marks the third movie for the popular animated franchise. The latest installment is scheduled to hit theaters in 2020/2021. It is being globally distributed by Munich-based Studio 100 Film.

Ulli Stoef, Studio 100 Media’s CEO, said: “We are delighted to add yet another chapter to Maya the Bee’s success story. We sold our first two Maya movies to more than 170 countries worldwide and already have presales of Maya the Bee 3: The Golden Orb to the U.S., France and Poland. For this new movie we renew our successful collaboration with our previous partner Universum Film, and hope that Maya’s next theatrical adventure will entertain children and families worldwide just like the first movies have done and still do.”

Brian Rosen, founder of Studio B Animation, noted: “My co-producer, Tracy Lenon, and I are very excited to be making another Maya the Bee film. It is such an iconic title that has been entertaining young children for more than 100 years.”

Barbara Stephen, the managing director and executive producer at Flying Bark Productions, added: “Flying Bark are proud to be collaborating on our third Maya feature film. We believe in the importance of our young audience seeing inspirational female protagonists who deal with challenges, find solutions and approach obstacles with good-natured tenacity. Maya is the kind of relatable character who can be both fun and a great role model, helping kids make sense of the world around them.”
