Studio 100 Film has added the high-octane animated feature “Rally - From Paris to the Pyramids” to its 2025 film slate and will present the first footage of the film to buyers at this year’s European Film Market. The film is produced by Scandinavian animation studio Qvisten Animation, known for titles such as “Captain Sabertooth” and “Cattle Hill.”

“Rally - From Paris to the Pyramids” is directed by celebrated Norwegian filmmaker Rasmus A. Sivertsen (“Captain Sabertooth and the Countess of Grel,” “Captain Sabertooth and the Magic Diamond,” “Three Robbers and a Lion,” “In the Forest of Huckybucky”) and the screenplay is written by internationally acclaimed writer Rob Sprackling (“Gnomeo & Juliet,” Disney’s “The Queen’s Corgi,” “Heidi – Rescue of the Lynx”) in collaboration with Karsten Fullu.

This action-packed adventure for family audiences follows Reodor Felgen, a brilliant but eccentric inventor, and his two unlikely friends—Solan, a daring magpie, and Ludvig, a timid hedgehog—as they attempt to redeem themselves by competing in the legendary Paris-to-the-Pyramids rally. Equipped with their extraordinary racecar, Il Tempo Gigante, the trio embarks on a high-stakes journey through bustling Paris, the perilous Italian Alps, and the scorching Egyptian desert. With their home, friendship, and lives on the line, they must prove that ingenuity and determination can conquer any challenge.

Inspired by the amazing universe of Norwegian creator Kjell Aukrust and the iconic Il Tempo Gigante, one of the most beloved cars in Norway’s automotive culture, the film is set to honor and introduce Aukrust’s legacy to a new generation.

“Rally - From Paris to the Pyramids” combines the excitement of high-speed racing with inventive, heart-warming storytelling. Director Rasmus A. Sivertsen explained: “Kjell Aukrust loved fast cars and bold journeys. This film captures that spirit with unforgettable characters and a race like no other.”

Produced by Rebecca Padoin and powered by Qvisten Animation’s cutting-edge artistry, the film is set for delivery in 2025 and will be distributed in Scandinavia by Nordisk Film Distribution during Christmas 2025.

Lorena Booth, Senior Acquisitions & Sales Manager at Studio 100 International, said: “We are thrilled to collaborate with the talented team at Qvisten Animation on this action-packed rally adventure that promises great entertainment for the whole family, especially car enthusiasts. Following these unlikely heroes on their journey to overcome obstacles with ingenuity, determination, and creativity will captivate audiences of all ages. We couldn’t be more excited to unveil the first footage at EFM.”

The film is currently in production, and will be part of Studio 100 Film’s 2025 lineup. The company will be at EFM, presenting an initial teaser trailer to kick off presales for “Rally – From Paris to the Pyramids.”
