Smart or foolish, dreamers or mischievous, but

are tiny and bizarre creatures that inhabit the arid

Life flows gently along and it could appear simple
but occasionally the usual routine is disturbed by
the passage of Cosoni (Humans), so careless
that they often drop and leave the most diverse
things in the middle of Cosakistan.
I Cosi, curious and noisy, never miss the opportunity
to discover and explore these mysterious things
left by humans, providing funny interpretations

Blanche is a sheep of remarkable character and
a natural leader with the tenacity of a lion and the
delicacy of a lamb. She rules with nonchalance
over an exceptionally varied community of very
original animals.
There’s a dreamy, vegetarian lion, a badtempered
and interfering “pig-bat” and a singing duckling
with a passion for tapdancing, a piglet without
appetite who is prone to faintingfits, a chronically
melancholic penguin and finally a very explosive
double-act of a naughty hippopotamus with his
inseparable rhinocros side-kick.
All the characters differ dramaticaly from each
other and contrast with the way we might expect
them to be. In BLANCHE, diversity (of appearance,
attitude and character) is not simply a fact of
nature, but constantly offers opportunities for
surprise, enrichment, curiosity, tolerance, respect,
entertainment, understanding and growth.

KOOUKA
Welcome to the incredible world of Koouka: a unique young
chameleon with incredible powers. Koouka is like no other
chameleon! In fact not only he can change his color, but also
his shape, his size and he can even become the material of the
objects he touches. Incredible and unique talents that make Him,
potentially, a Real Hero!
Too bad that most of the time Koouka cannot absolutely control
his powers: in fact when he’s feeling emotional, maybe because
a cute girl is passing by, insecure, or he is simply not paying
attention, he completely loses control of his unbelievable skills.
Our hero becomes a little clumsy guy!!!
The results? Funny gags in a slapstick format where Koouka, a
cute, colorful and charming little guy finds himself involved against
his will. And we will see him trying to work out everything that
life send his way in his very own unique style. A sort of the Blue
Chameleon version of Mr. Bean. And even if he is childish and a
little clumsy, he is eager to be accepted! Something many of us
can identify with, young or old!
The concept of the series is about identity and all the questions
around it: how, most of the time, diversity is lived and experienced
as a limit and not as a potential strength. Also, how the natural
desire to be accepted by others, often stops us from expressing
who we really are and what we really want. These challenges are
treated in a very sensitive and amusing way using the universal
language of comedy to strike a cord with a global audience.
Through his daily misadventures Koouka will learn how to manage
his identity, his diversity and last but not least, his incredible skills.
He will also understand how exceptional he is and how this will
ease the special relationship he has with his friends and the all
world around him. Last but not least, he will allow us to think while
smiling.

Who are the Kokeshi? A group of four girls and four
boys aged between 6 and 10 who have the chance of
taking classes at the School of Design and Elegance!
It’s a school of excellence where all the refinement of
Japan is taught: kimono design, hairdressing, ikebana,
origami, painting and calligraphy. But modern Japan
isn’t left out of the curriculum: high-technology, robot
design and making of crazy gadgets are also part of
required courses.
The Kokeshi love their school, but what they love more
than anything is chatting, having fun, partying and of
course speaking about boys!
The boys hesitate between becoming ninjas or pop
stars and have created a “ninja-rock” group with which
they hope to charm the girls! And it doesn’t matter if
crossing the Forest can be a dangerous undertaking
due to the presence of the Yokai spirits. When it’s
time to play - or to live your first love stories, you’re
not scared of anything! Through 13-minute episodes,
the series recounts the daily lives and adventures of a
joyful group of girls facing a gang of funny and turbulent
boys. The world of the Kokeshi refers constantly to the
world of Japan: clothes, food, etiquette, calligraphy,
esthetics, martial arts, boys’ bands...

The Italian city of Florence is known for its splendid
treasures, and that includes the distinctive band
of animals running around its streets! Just who
are they? They are the Florentine Cats – the heart
and soul of the city helping to uphold the ideals of
the Renaissance!
It all begins with Tinzi, an orange striped cat whose
vivid imagination, inventive mind and curious
nature get him into wild adventures throughout
the Tuscany region and European continent. He is
the true “Renaissance” cat – part artist, scientist,
philosopher, and inventor. Usually tagging beside
Tinzi are the friendly feline, Isabella de Medici, a
fashionable cat with a certain savoir-faire; and
his best friend, Ringo, a brash and wisecracking
canine with a big heart. Tinzi and his friends
will have to match wits against the evil cats in
Renaissance Florence, including Cattivo and his
gang of “Bad Cats”; the sultry villainous Purrfidia;
and the mad scientist Dottor Gattabuia. Along
the way, they will also cross paths with a diverse

such as Furenzo de Medici, Catanova, Mamma

Synopsis
PRESCHOOL
KIDS
“The Robin and the Fir Tree” is a classic animation film, based
on one of Hans Christian Andersen’s best-loved tales, “The
Little Fir Tree”. The setting of the film is an unspecified area
of Northern Europe, inspired by the forest landscapes and
towns of Scandinavia, Germany and Russia. The time
period is present day, but the rural setting (even when the
action shifts away from the forest), gives the film a timeless
feel. The film is balletic and music-led, with sparing use of
narration (as in “The Snowman”) and a lively atmospheric
score.
The two main characters in the film are:
TWEENS
& TEENS
FAMILY
The Fir Tree, who begins as a naïve, vain sapling, and
develops a deeper understanding of his position in the
world as a result of the events that are shown in the
film. In the course of the film, the Fir Tree learns the
importance of appreciating the wonders of the hereand-now - the beautiful forest in which he grew up - and
not always to yearn for something out of reach - the
human world - which may turn out to be not as attractive
as he expects.
THE ROBIN &
THE FIR TREE
The Robin is a loyal friend to the Fir Tree, who is always
one step ahead of the Fir Tree in learning about the
world of men. The Robin never gives up on her friend,
and constantly seeks to make him appreciate the
