As the Annecy International Animation Film Festival continues in France, Groupe M6 has picked up kids\u2019 titles from Dargaud Media and Dupuis Edition & Audiovisuel.<\/p>\n
Dupuis Edition & Audiovisuel is starting development with Groupe M6 on Living with Dad<\/em>, a fast-paced contemporary sitcom on family life adapted from the comic books by NOB. Though the comic books are from the dad\u2019s perspective, the animated series will be from the points of view of the four daughters\u2014aged 2, 8, 12 and 18\u2014who are all as different as their respective mothers.<\/p>\n Kid Lucky<\/em>, produced by Dargaud Media for M6 Kid\u2019s autumn schedule, is an animated western series for children aged 6 and up. Directed by Olivier Brugnoli\u2014and based on Lucky Luke<\/em> by Morris and Goscinny and Les Aventures de Kid Lucky <\/em>by Achd\u00e9\u2014the show tells the story of the childhood of \u201cthe greatest cowboy in the West.\u201d<\/p>\n Caroline Duvochel, head of Media-Participation Audiovisual Production, said: \u201cIt was a pleasure to get down to kids\u2019 level with our partner M6 and explore Lucky Luke<\/em>\u2019s Wild West, while still developing a unique identity for the series. The pioneer outpost of Nothing Gulch gives Kid and his gang a unique backdrop for an adventurous childhood filled with freedom, discovery, fantasy and friendship. These are all ingredients that will attract today\u2019s children, whether they already know the universe or not. But beware, there\u2019s no room for lily-livered greenhorns!\u201d<\/p>\n Lila Hannou, director of animation co-productions and pre-buys at Groupe M6, said: \u201cIt\u2019s a great pleasure for us to work with Dargaud Media to broadcast the adventures of a young Lucky Luke in our children\u2019s slot M6 Kids. A hero who has thrilled generations of readers in a new, positive, modern series with all the ingredients needed to take the whole family off into the Wild West… Wagons roll!\u201d<\/p>\n Director Brugnoli added: \u201cThe best way not to feel overwhelmed by the weight of the gigantic comic book monument of Lucky Luke<\/em> … is simply not to think about it! Even if we had a bit of fun slipping in a few nods\u2014mainly for parents\u2014in the direction of the universe of Lucky Luke<\/em>, and westerns in general, our main aim has always been to speak to children of today. ‘The Kid’ is still far from being the ‘poor lonesome cowboy’ he\u2019ll later become, meaning that there is a lot of freedom to invent a bucolic childhood world full of fun and frolics, with all his friends and his young foal Jolly Jumper. Viewers will be shown a fresh and unique vision of our little hero.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the Annecy International Animation Film Festival continues in France, Groupe M6 has picked up kids\u2019 titles from Dargaud Media and Dupuis Edition & Audiovisuel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":18730,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[5519,4671,5518],"class_list":["post-18729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-dargaud-media","tag-dupuis-edition-audiovisuel","tag-groupe-m6","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
