In a milestone deal, Superights, the distribution arm of France’s Superprod Group, has pacted with ViacomCBS Networks International for Nickelodeon International to roll out “Anna & Friends” ac…
Made on a brand-new addition to the Superights catalog, the deal was announced on Monday, the first day of MipJunior, which this year forms part of. It also marks the first multi-territory Nickelodeon sale for the Paris-based Superights, and a massive first window distribution ensuring that the series will broadcast in nearly all international territories.
The series sees Superprod, however, leveraging its own assets, with production taking place at its studios in France, as it looks to two of the major forces which explain why France is becoming such an animation power in Europe. “Anna & Friends” also underscores the innovation coursing through much contemporary animation, using what Superights describes as “innovative CG animation techniques” to create a “charming, hand-modeled clay appearance.”
“We are thrilled to be undertaking this new collaboration with Nickelodeon and feel honored by the trust they have placed in ‘Anna & Friends.’ We are looking forward to the exciting opportunities this new partnership promises,” commented Nathalie Pinguet, deputy general manager at Superights.
