ON Kids & Family, together with the Mediawan Group (Paris:MDW), and ZAG have partnered with Fantawild in a joint venture to develop the world-famous animated brand Miraculous in China. The partnership is part of a broader development strategy on the Chinese market and will establish Miraculous in China in all segments of business, including the launch of the series, the theatrical release of the film, licensed merchandise and promotional products, and location-based entertainment.

Fantawild is one of the leading entertainment companies in China. Active in the production and creation of content, the company is renowned for Boonie Bears, the No.1 animated media franchise in China. A leading actor of animation in China, Fantawild is also the owner of the largest chain of theme parks in China, with 29 parks in operation and 10 in construction. It is ranked the fifth theme park group worldwide by TEA (Themed Entertainment Association) with close to 50 million visitors per year.

“Building on our success in Europe, we will continue our international expansion by developing close collaborations with our partners to strengthen our foothold in several regions. This collaboration with Fantawild is a first step for the Group in Asia and reflects Mediawan’s commitment to producing international hits. The teams at ZAG and at Aton Soumache’s ON Kids & Family have ensured and replicated the success of “Ladybug” and, with the help of Fantawild’s people in China, will turn it into more than just an animated programme, taking it into a world beyond the screen, through merchandising operations and theme parks”, says Pierre-Antoine Capton, Chairman of the Management Board of Mediawan.

“ZAG and ON Kids & Family have opened a new chapter in their respective history. The joint venture allows our companies to strengthen their market position in China, expand into a country with great potential, and play a direct part in the phenomenal growth of the Chinese market,” says Thierry Pasquet, co-founder and CEO of ON Kids & Family.

“We at ZAG are so grateful that kids and families around the world have embraced the world of Miraculous. China has always been a very special territory. Despite the growing demand, we remained patient and extremely selective in choosing only the best partner, which we have finally found with Fantawild. Fantawild's expertise in creating experiential entertainment for kids and families with their theme parks compliments our content perfectly. We are beyond proud to be partners, and are excited for the future of Miraculous in China,” adds Jérémy Zag, founder and president of ZAG.
