SMF Studio & Sola Media Pact for The Secrets of Honey Hills

Russia’s SMF (Soyuzmultfilm) Studio has signed an agreement with Sola Media in Germany, which will distribute the animated series The Secrets of Honey Hills worldwide.

The Secrets of Honey Hills is a detective comedy series for kids aged 4 to 6. It features crime stories for kids to solve, challenging their curiosity and logical thinking, while also imparting the importance of tolerance and patience.

Sola Media will be the exclusive distributor of the series worldwide, handling international promotion and sales.

In The Secrets of Honey Hills, Sophie is a smart and classy owl who lives in the titular small little town by the seaside, where squirrels, hedgehogs and bears live peacefully side by side. Even in this quiet village, mysterious and unexplainable events sometimes happen, with the neighbors calling on Sophie and her detective mind for help. Together with her assistant, the sharp squirrel Chink, she reveals the truth, uncovering the most tangled affairs.

Yuliana Slashcheva, the chairman of the board of the SMF Studio, said: “The Secrets of Honey Hills is an unusual animated series, not only for Russian audiences but for the whole world, as the genre of children’s detective stories is quite rare in animation. For young viewers, the project will not only be a captivating show but also provide an opportunity to develop analytical skills. We initially aimed at creating a universal animated series for an international audience: all the characters and plot of the series will be clear to kids in all corners of the world. And with such a large and experienced partner as Sola Media, the series will certainly be a success. We are very pleased with our cooperation and look forward to its productive development.”

Solveig Langland, managing director of Sola Media, said: “The Secrets of Honey Hills combines important educational values and logical thinking challenges with entertaining stories and lovable characters, and we can’t wait to share them with kids around the world.”
