So were going to do the hard work for you.

After a short hiatus, were back this week, spotlighting the French animated seriesSamuel.

The unusual program consists of 21 episodes running two to six minutes.

‘Samuel’

A French short-form animation was a rare outing for Global Breakouts but having captured attention at Annecy,Samuel,which spotlights te growing pains of a 10-year-old, was well worth a look.Valseur Films

I was working at an animation studio in Nantes.

It wasnt really a professional project.

It was really just for me I made it in five days.

Today, that little film is the first episode of the series.

The subject and the design came together very rapidly without too much reflection.

The character of Samuel emerged in part out of her passion for the subject of childhood.

I loved the tone and the authenticity of the writing, he says.

We firmly believe inSamuels potential to become a key transmedia franchise on the global stage.

However, this was down 11.2% year-over-year at 51.2M ($56.5M).
