The team at Kikeriki Productions were once again chosen to pitch our Series at one of the biggest markets in Europe - the Animation Production Day, held in Stuttgart in the first week of May. The atmosphere was incredibly supportive and meetings were aplenty which demanded a great deal of talking - even for Andrea who counts talking among one of her favourite pastimes! Once again we were humbled by the overwhelmingly positive response to our series concept. Many thanks especially to Marlene, Sandra, Christoph, Dominique, Gisela and Annick and to all attending producers and broadcasters who voted us amongst the top three projects of the market (together with ´Wonderland Comes to Alice´by Wunderwerk and ´Animanimals´by Studio Film Bilder.). The Jury included German broadcasters: ZDF, KIKA, Super RTL, HR, SWR, YFE and Disney Germany.
Each of the prizewinners were given automatic entry into this years Cartoon Forum - a big deal for a two-lady company with humble roots such as ours. Next stop Toulouse!
