Dandelooo has a jam-packed catalog for Annecy/Mifa.

Born in the Jungle takes place in late 1950s Venezuela, where 9-year-old Elizabeth’s summer break takes a wild turn when her little brother Leo vanishes into the jungle.

Emmanuèle Pétry, head of international and development, highlights The Upside Down River, “which has been selected in the best TV program Annecy awards category,” she says. The Upside Down River tells the story of Tomek and Hannah’s meeting on the way to the Qjar River and their series of quests.

Tuiga brings to life a giraffe in a balloon as he makes deliveries around the world. He is accompanied by a pilot, flower and rock. Dandelooo’s offering also includes PongPong Dino, Pompon Little Bear, Billy the Cowboy Hamster and many more.

Pétry says, “These programs have a high visual impact with a strong setting in nature—an imaginative art-like nature, but nevertheless a true inspiration for kids today.”
