Emmy Award-winning French animation production and distribution company Dandelooo has teamed up with Canal+ to develop its latest animation project Gaston Gets It!, a 52 x 11-minute comedy series for upper preschoolers.
Based on the hugely successful and enchanting children’s book series “Gaston’s Emotions” (Les émotions de Gaston) is written by author and illustrator Aurélie Chien Chow Chine and published by Hachette Enfants, an imprint of Hachette Livre France. Featuring the cutest unicorn with a rainbow-colored mane, the books which entice children to identify emotions and manage them effectively have sold over 1.3 million copies in France alone and have been translated into 27 languages.
Gaston is a young unicorn just like many others…well, almost. Gaston is unique. He has a rainbow-colored mane which is magical. His striking mane changes colors according to his emotions, oops!
Dandelooo will present Gaston Gets It! to potential industry partners at this year’s Cartoon Forum in Toulouse, together with a teaser directed by Aurélie Raphaël (co-director of ‘Ernest and Celestine, The Collection’), and will be responsible for the worldwide distribution rights.
