Autour de Minuit Brings Packed Animation Slate to Unifrance Rendez-vous (EXCLUSIVE)
Autour de Minuit spotlights six animated TV titles ahead of this year's Unifrance Rendez-vous as the fall market season kicks into full swing.
“The Impossible Future,” a TV series from directors Antonio Balseiro & Martin Haas, is more direct about such issues of the Anthropocene: a documentary that discusses climate change but also the different potential routes to halting and even perhaps reversing the effects of that worldwide existential crisis. The sleepy country town of Vlalbonvent is watched over by an unexpected protector: a “Super Caribou” in a cape and tights, “like Superman over Metropolis.” Directed by Mathieu Auvray & Pauline Pinson, the second season of this French-Belgian co-production between Autour de Minuit and Panique! Based on the books written and illustrated by Magali Le Huche, the very premise is adorably silly, with the various capers of the animal town involving everything from learning healthy eating to super-powered mustaches and cases about property destruction.
