Around this dedicated pitching session, Variety spoke with the teams of this rich, diverse panel of animated series in the making.
Algorythm
Alien Book Club
Pitching for the very first time her project, director-producer Shabnam Rezaei brings “Alien Book Club” to Cartoon Forum. In her brand new upper-preschool TV series, five extraordinary aliens jump into classic stories to learn something about themselves in a huge space-age library. Because in the Intergalatic Library Bus, there’s a book and a story for everyone.
El Kapoutchi, the King of Villains
In the town of Harmony, people share common qualities such as kindness, honesty or a sense of happiness… and El Kapoutchi hates it! A passionate and eccentric inventor, he uses his bubbling imagination to bring trouble to the quiet, peaceful town. And in his endeavor, he faces kids, who, unfortunately for him, aren’t as naive as their parents. Often craftier than the ultimate villain, they use their creativity and resourcefulness to trick him into falling victim to his own traps.
Miss Tzatziki’s Classroom Mysteries
In Miss Tzatziki’s Class Mysteries, everyday school life turns into thrilling cases, as four quick witted-friends try to solve the baffling mysteries of stolen sandwiches, a missing hamster, a suspicious fire alarm, and more.
Semanka
Diversity is also a major theme in “Semanka,” a show crafted to encourage kids to build their own confidence and learn to love what might seem like quirks in themselves and others.
