Pierre Belaisch’s decision to exit the firm follows the appointment of Nicolas Atlan as Gaumont president of animation back in March.

Based in LA, Atlan reports directly to Gaumont CEO Sidonie Dumas and vice-CEO Christophe Riandee.

Belaisch had been due to report to Atlan and focus on European series but has decided to step down instead.

He joined the firm to develop its animation slate and has since been behind series including Calimero, Furry Wheels, Belle and Sebastien and Welcome to Bric Broc.

The news was first revealed by trade newsletter Satellifax and confirmed to C21.
