Cartoon Movie is neither a fair nor a festival, but rather a pitching & co-pro forum for animated feature films.
For two days, producers have the opportunity to pitch their film project in order to speed up financing, find co-producers and interest international distributors.
Since its creation in 1999, 295 films found financing, representing a total budget of 2 billion EUR.

3 stages of project presentation
A special feature of Cartoon Movie is that it is possible to present projects at their different stages:
- projects in concept
- projects in development
- films in production
Therefore the whole industrial network can take part in the development of the film, which increases tenfold the producer’s chances
for success.
30 minutes to convince the buyers
The pitching sessions are the core element of Cartoon Movie. Participants have to choose between 2 rooms where projects are pitched by the whole production and artistic team, from 10 minutes for projects in concept up to 30 minutes for projects in development or films in production.
To start the day, the screening of trailers in front of all participants during the traditional breakfast «Croissant & Coffee Shows» gives a taste of the project and encourages people to attend the pitching sessions.
The human touch: the soul of Cartoon Movie
Around the sessions, Cartoon Movie creates golden opportunities to network: at the Welcome Dinner, the buffet lunches, or even during the Farewell cocktail. Business without stress!
A highly efficient formula
Since 1999, over 295 films pitched at Cartoon Movie, with a total budget of 2 billion EUR, have secured their financing and have been released.
