Studio Projects:

Mr Magoo:
Everybody loves Magoo! This cheerful guy’s always happy to lend a helping hand. But because he doesn’t realize he desperately needs glasses, he keeps on causing disasters!

Buddybot:
Chloe’s life changed when Buddybot, a hyper-enthusiastic robot from the future, arrived in her garden. Now, they’re on a mission to save the planet! But even though their hearts are in the right place, things don’t always go as planned…

De Gaulle at the Beach:
Summer 1956…Wearied by the ingratitude of the French and by the mediocrity of their leaders, the Liberator of France decides to go on a well-deserved holiday… Charles, rather dreamy but imperturbable, is accompanied by the ever faithful Captain Lebornec. Lebornec – devoted if sometimes flummoxed by the general’s attitude – is the ideal holiday companion and confidant. They are accompanied by Charles’ wife Yvonne, his son, and Wehrmacht, a descendant of Hitler’s dog. De Gaulle at the Beach is an animated adaptation of an 2007 humoristic French comic strip album written and drawn by Jean-Yves Ferri. The premise in the comic and adaptation is largly the same: In 1956, Charles de Gaulle, the leader of the Free French Government in Exile during World War II, unsuccessfully tried his luck in politics. Faced with the ungratefulness of French people and their government under the Fourth Republic, he takes a vacation on a beach resort in Brittany with his assistant Lebornec. Wacky stuff ensues.
