Studio 100 International is breathing new life into its iconic classic series

Munich-based Studio 100 International, a leading production and distribution company specializing in high-quality children’s and family movies and series, remasters classic tv series in full HD and 16:9 for the first time.

To meet growing demand and celebrate these beloved titles the company has embarked on a remastering project making these heritage series available in Full-HD and 16:9 widescreen format for the very first time. Iconic IPs such as Sindbad, Pinocchio, Alice in Wonderland, Anne of Green Gables, Nils Holgersson, Marco, Vic the Viking, Maya the Bee, and Heidi will soon captivate not only a new generation of young viewers but also evoke nostalgia among adults who grew up with these timeless classics.

The remastering process employs cutting-edge AI technology to transform the original content from the 1970s into a vibrant and high-quality Full-HD experience. After a thorough analysis of the source material, specific optimisations are identified and addressed. AI-assisted upscaling is then applied rendering oversized frames to generate additional visual information necessary for the adaptation to 16:9 format.

Once upscaled the material undergoes manual refinement with each scene meticulously reviewed and adjusted to ensure the integrity of the original content while achieving the optimal widescreen display in native 1920×1080 resolution. Audio tracks are also carefully reconstructed allowing for the integration of various language versions. To finalise the process localised versions of the titles and credits are produced ensuring the remastered series are ready for global distribution.

This initiative is part of Studio 100 International’s broader licensing campaign, Heroes of Childhood, which unites these treasured properties under one brand, celebrating their enduring appeal across generations.
