Gaumont Animation and Studio 100 Media forge a first look partnership

Gaumont Animation and Studio 100 Media announced a first look pact solidifying their collaboration globally. This newly formed alliance will entail co-productions and distribution of animated, kids and family TV series and films, fostering creative synergy between the two companies.

Gaumont Animation is the producer of the award-winning series “Stillwater” (Apple TV+), “Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles” and “Do, Re & Mi” (Amazon), while Studio 100 Media is the home of hit series and movies such as “Maya The Bee,” “Vic the Viking,” “Heidi” and “Mia and me.”

“We are thrilled to embark on this global partnership with Studio 100 Media. By combining our strengths and leveraging our collective experience, we are poised to deliver compelling and high-quality animated content that resonates with audiences across the globe,”  stated Terry Kalagian, President Global Animation of Kids & Family at Gaumont.

"Our collective experience and strengths will garner exceptional opportunities to create powerful diverse series and films that will inspire and captivate viewers worldwide. This collaboration opens new avenues for creative synergies, and we are delighted to enter into this groundbreaking partnership with Gaumont,”  emphasized Martin Krieger, CEO of Studio 100 Media.

Through this strategic first look arrangement, Gaumont Animation and Studio 100 Media will engage in co-productions, working hand in hand to develop and produce captivating TV series and films. The first co-production is the animated series “Ash” in collaboration with bigchild Entertainment. The alliance between Gaumont and Studio 100 Media is expected to yield multiple project announcements throughout the year.

Furthermore, this joint effort presents an opportunity to leverage Studio 100 Media’s robust distribution arm, amplifying the reach and impact of the jointly produced content. “Tiny Head,” an animated co-production between Gaumont Animation and Cloudco Entertainment, is one of the first projects which will benefit from the newly formed partnership.
