Cold Weather Magic

We know good things are coming our way whenever creative French studio TeamTO announces a new show. This year at MIPCOM, the studio behind popular animated fare such as Mighty Mike, Presto! School of Magic and City of Ghosts, is producing three animated holiday specials based on three different children’s books. The first 27-minute project is The Winter I Met the Fox, which details the friendship between a lost fox and a pet chicken. In the 3 x 5-minute project Penguin’s Ice Time, the aquatic bird is irritated by a variety of polar animals. Finally, in the 24-minute special Snowy and the Snowman, audiences meet a young, adventurous snowgirl who saves a rabbit from a mighty yeti in Snowland.

As Mary Bredin, creative development producer at the studio, tells us, “This magical seasonal special is made up of three heart-warming stories, all directed by up-and-coming young directors with great promise in the animation world. They are based on three stunning books that leapt to the screen with ease and will surely become classics that will shine for years to come.”
