The Power of Like
Posted in: Animation
Why do we post certain things rather than others? What influences the aesthetics of what we create? How do we choose what is worth showing and what is not? This film explores and meditates on the impact of a “like”. The good, the ugly, and all the conflict in between. For insight into the process, please check the article from Motionographer below: http://motionographer.com/2017/02/09/andrew-vucko-and-the-power-of-like/ Credits —— Directed by: Andrew Vucko Original Music & Sound Design: Cypheraudio Written by: Caroline Leung & Andrew Vucko Design: Andrew Vucko Main Title Design: Daniel Luna Technical Director: Zack Lovatt Animation: Andrew Vucko, Arm Sattavorn, Daniel Luna, Luis Campos, Phil Borst, Sebastian Curi, Seth Eckert Sound Design: John Black Composers: Tobias Norberg, John Black Voiceover: Michelle Falanga

Just in time for the return of David Brent in “Life on the Road” (February 10 on Netflix), Ricky Gervais steps into the hot seat for the (vegan) wings of death and some scorching questions from First We Feast’s Sean Evans. Accurately dubbing Hot Ones “a cross between Charlie Rose and f*%king Jackass,” the comedian gets pummeled by the likes of Zombie Apocalypse and Da Bomb Beyond Insanity. Will he become “entertainment for some idiot on the Internet”? Will he “vomit and sh*t” himself? You gotta watch to find out!

The Canadian company Corus Entertainment’s Nelvana, an international producer and distributor of children’s animated and live-action content, has landed a host of new consumer products partners in France for its high-flying animated hit series, Super Wings. In addition, a new weekday timeslot has been secured for the animated preschool series on the Gullidoo children’s programming block on France’s Gulli, one of the nation’s well known kids broadcast channel, which began from January 2017. Super Wings also airs on Piwi+.
Super Wings follows the adventures of Jett, a confident jet plane who travels around the world delivering packages to children with his group of adorable airplane pals, the “Super Wings.” No ordinary airplanes, the Super Wings are able to transform into amazing heroes who can run, climb, dig, and even swim. The series centres on cultural diversity and creative problem-solving, as the friends take off on adventures to new countries, encountering problems they must work together to solve.
“Super Wings is a huge hit in France and its continued growth has elevated the sales of our consumer products program to new heights,” said Nelvana Enterprises, EMEA head, Antoine Erligmann. “The soaring popularity of the show has allowed us to select the very best partners and we’re thrilled to be collaborating with so many first-rate licenses.”
Nelvana has signed 15 new consumer products agreements for Super Wings, some of which are: AD Global (toys and accessories), Auldey (master toy), ATM (back to school), Bon Bon Buddies (confectionary), Canal Toys (arts and crafts), Chauss Europ (footwear) and Clementoni (puzzles and games).
In addition to France, Nelvana holds the merchandise licensing rights for the series in North America, where it represents Super Wings in all categories except toys, which are distributed by Auldey Toys in the U.S.A. and Imports Dragon in Canada. Auldey also distributes Super Wings toys in France.
On Gulli, Super Wings has landed two consecutive top-flight episodes on weekdays at 12:55 pm. A block of three episodes airs on Piwi+ from Monday to Friday at 10:55 am and are then broadcast on the Tes héros programming block over the weekend.
Super Wings, co-produced by FunnyFlux Entertainment, Little Airplane Productions, Qianqi Animation, EBS, CJ E&M and KiKA has charted a three-fold increase in viewership since joining Guillidoo’s Monday through Friday programming block this month, exceeding the overall ratings for the entire block. In addition, Super Wings is the number one most requested preschool show on Gulli’s replay service, accessible via its website.

Posted in: AnimationInternational film sales company Studio 100 Film has signed agreements with Delta Films (Peru) and Myndform for the rights to the CGI feature film “Blinky Bill – The Movie”. Delta Films has acquired the theatrical, TV and home video rights for a variety of Latin American countries such as Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Costa Rica and Chile, while Myndform has secured the theatrical, TV and home entertainment rights for the Scandinavian territories. “Blinky Bill – The Movie” is produced by Flying Bark Productions (Australia) in co-production with Assemblage (India) and Telegael Teoranta (Ireland) and in association with Screen Australia and Screen New South Wales. Munich-based Studio 100 Film is the worldwide sales agent.
“We are excited about this first collaboration with both, Delta Films and Myndform. To partner with such renowned distribution companies now allows Australia’s favorite Koala Blinky to travel to Latin American and the Scandinavian territories and reach an even broader audience,” said Studio 100 Film, director of business operations, Thorsten Wegener.

A small koala with a big imagination, Blinky is an adventurer at heart who dreams of leaving the little town of Green Patch and following his explorer father’s footsteps. Blinky embarks on a journey that takes him beyond the boundary of Greenpatch in the wild and dangerous Australian landscape in his quest to find his missing father. He quickly makes friends with Nutsy, a zoo koala, and Jacko, a nervous frill-necked lizard. Pursued relentlessly by a vengeful Cat who has a personal score to settle with Blinky, the trio must learn to work together if they ever want to survive the rugged Australian landscape and find Blinky’s father!
