Cartoon Forum reveals three successful Animated UK Meets Europe project pitches

The Adventures of Robin Robin is produced by Wallace & Gromit prodco Aardman Animations

French pitching event Cartoon Forum has unveiled the three projects to be pitched under this year’s Animated UK Meets Europe initiative.

In collaboration with industry body Animation UK, the Animated UK Meets Europe initiative provides a way to allow UK producers to pitch at Cartoon Forum post-Brexit.

Before 2021, UK production companies participated annually at the event alongside their colleagues across Europe, but since the UK’s withdrawal from the EU are no longer permitted to pitch projects.

The Animated UK Meets Europe initiative was first launched in 2023 to allow a limited number of UK producers to pitch projects that have a UK broadcast partner attached, with the aim of securing European coproduction and distribution partners.

At the 2025 edition of Cartoon Forum, three projects selected by UK pubcaster the BBC and Welsh-language pubcaster S4C will be pitched via the initiative.

The first project is Amelia Fang (52×11’), a 2D animated series for six-to nine-year-olds produced by Cake Entertainment in the UK and DCM in Germany.

The second project, Let’s Play in Tiger Bay, is a 52×7’ 2D and 3D preschool series from Hoho Entertainment and Bumpybox, which are both UK-based.

The third project is The Adventures of Robin Robin (52×7’), a 3D animated preschool series produced by Wallace & Gromit prodco Aardman Animations.
