Kidscreen has announced the 27 animation concepts that have been selected for the 2017 Asian Animation Summit (AAS) showcase.
Representing the very best kids animated TV development work across Australia, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, China and New Zealand, these projects will be presented live to the audience.
‘The Fridgers’ and ‘Gaia’s Guardians’
This year’s event is set to take place in Brisbane, Australia from 29 November to 1 December. Over the course of the three-day event, each project will be presented in a moderated live pitch and question-answer format, with plenty of time for follow-up meetings and casual networking built into the schedule.
It is anticipated that roughly 250 attendees will take part in Asian Animation Summit 2017, which is designed to attract animation producers who are interested in co-production with partners in Asia-Pacific countries, as well as broadcasters, distributors and investors from the region and beyond.
Roughly 50 per cent of projects that debuted at previous AAS events have since gone into production, including series as Bottersnikes & Gumbles (2012), Kuu Kuu Harajuku (2013), Wonderballs (2012) and Balloon Barnyard (2014).
