The Three Musketeers Set for MIPJunior Premiere

Mediawan Kids & Family’s The Three Musketeers has been slated to feature as this year’s MIPJunior Premiere, taking place October 19 in the Grand Theatre of the JW Marriott Cannes.

The adaptation of the literary classic has been freshly reimagined for a new generation of children ages 6 to 10. The series is co-produced by Mediawan Kids & Family’s label Method Animation (Miraculous—Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, Robin Hood: Mischief in Sherwood) and Palomar Animation (Mediawan Group), in association with ZDF and ZDF Studios and with the participation of France Télévisions and Rai Ragazzi.

The 52×11-minute CG-animated series updates Alexandre Dumas’s masterpiece with the introduction of the iconic swashbucklers as girls adventuring through France defending a young King Louis XIII.

“The Musketeers are French heroes that resonate globally across generations,” said Lucy Smith, director of MIPCOM CANNES. “That the latest adventures for these much-loved characters, in a new all-girl formation, will be first shown in Cannes for the international MIPJunior community is fitting, timely and thrilling.”

Katell France, Method Animation’s general manager and chief content officer, said: “We are excited to present for the very first time this brand new adaptation of the iconic French IP The Three Musketeers here at MIPJunior. The twist we have imagined is refreshing, aspirational and in complete alignment with the values of diversity and modernity that we uphold in our production choices. It opens the door to unprecedented missions for our Musketeers, and we are convinced that children all over the world will be immediately transported to the French 17th century in these new adventures between the Louvre and the alleys of Paris.”
