"Sam & Julia"
The charming animated series "Sam & Julia – The Mouse Mansion" has been nominated for the European TV Series Competition at the 17th Kecskemét Animation Film Festival (KAFF), Hungary’s leading showcase for animation excellence.
Selected from over 400 entries submitted from 23 countries, "Sam & Julia: The Story Without an End" stands alongside Europe’s most celebrated animated works. The festival takes place from May 27 to June 1, 2025 in Kecskemét, Hungary.
“After bringing 'Sam & Julia' to life on screen, seeing the series recognised by such a respected international festival is incredibly rewarding,” says Léon-Gilbert Hus, Producer. “It’s a joy to witness these beloved mice continue their journey — from cardboard sets to global screens — capturing hearts wherever they go.”
