Planeta Junior rejigs in Europe

Kids’ producer and distributor Planeta Junior is bringing its operations in France, Portugal and Spain together as one multi-territory cluster.

Antonella Ceraso, Planeta Junior’s country manager for Spain and Portugal, will manage the new operation.

Olivier Salomon will continue in his position as country manager in France, with both he and Ceraso reporting to Diego Ibáñez, international commercial director at Planeta Junior.

Planeta Junior has recently struck coproduction and distribution pacts with companies such as Zag Animation, Method Animation and Cottonwood Media in France.

Planeta Junior said the rejig “responds to current market needs and trends that require an increasingly global approach to entertainment properties in order to connect European consumers.”
