This week the BBC Studios Kids & Family team are at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. The event provides a unique space for the animation industry to come together with over 15,000 attendees from dozens of countries. Our team will be on the ground meeting customers and seeking out new talent showcasing their work. In the latest issue of Animation Magazine, BBC Studios Kids & Family MD, Cecilia Persson, outlines what we will be talking to clients and potential co-producers about at the festival. Highlights include an animated adventure comedy about a group of extraordinary friends that we have in development, which first came to life at Annecy last year! We’ll also be sharing more information and materials about Rafi The Wishing Wizard, plus STUDIO AKA’s Hey Duggee Squirrel Club spin off and - new to our catalogue – Obki, by Obki Productions and Ritzy Animation for Sky Kids. Our VP Sales, Katharina Pietzsch, has also spoken to C21Media ahead of the festival about how Bluey continues to expand its global footprint, as well as how we are bolstering our move into the FAST space with sales of Hey Duggee. Katharina also explores the issues facing the animation industry and how we are responding to it, and how we are making use of opportunities in the social media and digital space for kids’ content.
