The Nordics Storm Cartoon Forum
The Nordics Storm Cartoon Forum
This month, animation professionals converge in Toulouse to pitch their projects to investors and broadcasters from over 40 countries.
So far, Cartoon Forum for animated TV series’ has helped 956 animated shows find financing, and generated production budgets of nearly 3.5 billion euros. While this year’s pitches are dominated by projects from France, there are some interesting projects from the Nordics, and here are three projects to look out for:
The Sand Box
Made By Us and Ja Film will be pitching The Sand Box, a cute story about tiny illustrated book characters who fall into the “real world” of a school sand box. Written by prolific actor, author, illustrator, and animator Carl Quist-Møller, this project aims to entertain, educate, and inspire.

Based on their 2022 short film “The Swineherd”, this series follows Andersen’s lazy and loveable pigs as they travel through different fairytale worlds, revisiting familiar stories in a way you’ve never seen them before.
