They are tiny and bizarre creatures that inhabit the arid territory of Cosakistan. 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.

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. TWEENS & TEENS FAMILY BLANCHE Stage: ready for distribution Format: 26 x 5’ Technique: 2D Coproduction: The Animation Band, Rai Fiction, France 5, Les Films de la Perrine Language(s): Italian Countries available: Worldwide www.aldebarandistribution.com Synopsis PRESCHOOL KIDS TWEENS & TEENS FAMILY 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.

The boys hesitate between becoming ninjas or pop stars and have created a “ninja-rock” group with which they hope to charm the girls!

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.

And if there is a problem to go back, there is always a way to be condemned again. So for every stray dog the mission is: how do I get myself arrested, condemned and locked up again?

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 beauty of the forest and of his position in it. Through her persistence, the Robin ultimately ensures the continuation of the Fir Tree’s life, by taking a pine cone from the Fir Tree and planting it in the forest where the Fir Tree grew.
