Riki Group & Sola Media Ink Deal on Finnick

Germany’s Sola Media has taken sales rights to Riki Group’s animated feature Finnick.

Finnick, a CGI-animated comedy, follows the adventures of 13-year-old Christine, who befriends a Finn in unlikely circumstances. A Finn is a furry invisible being secretly taking care of making a house a home to the inhabitants. One young member of the species, called Finnick, has grown tired of slobbish humans and started playing pranks on the tenants of his house in order to get rid of them.

Finnick is the Riki Group Studio’s first original full-length project. Sola Media is handling the rights for the U.K. and Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, Germany and Italy, Poland and former Yugoslavia, Benelux, Scandinavia, South Africa and elsewhere.

Sola Media’s managing director, Solveig Langeland, said: “We immediately fell in love with Finnick when we saw the first teaser. It is beautifully animated and brings across a lot of humor, which is especially needed right now. The creative idea to have an invisible Finn in your house is compelling and sparks the audience’s imagination. Who wouldn’t love to have a helpful Finn around?”
