The Mediawan group's animation division has maintained its growth rate in 2018 with the series Arthur and the Minimoys (Storia Productions) and the release of the second and third seasons of Miraculous, as well as Zak Storm, Robin Hood season two and Denver (On kids & family).

There are still many projects planned for 2019, including new releases such as Power Players and Playmobil: The Movie as well as a collaboration with the world-famous author and illustrator Joann Sfar, which will be initiated with the release of the Little Vampire movie based on his internationally successful comic.

"Looking beyond the figures, this ranking highlights our teams' constant efforts to continue successfully exporting our animated series around the world. The Mediawan group's contribution and support help us to maintain this momentum and our leading position while also opening up new opportunities for us. As a result, we will be able to venture into other creative spheres by expanding our content, our formats and our targets, especially with the recruitment of new talents, as seen in our recent collaboration with Joann Sfar."
