Mondo TV France announces a new partnership with CANAL+ for the animated preschool series Grisù, comprising 52 x 12-minute episodes.
The character of Grisù, the little dragon who wants to become a firefighter, was created in 1964 by Toni and Nino Pagot, who also created Calimero, and was already the subject of a series broadcast worldwide in the 1970s.
The 3D reboot of this hit series is a co-production between Mondo TV France, Calidra, Toon2Tango and ZDF Studios, and has already been broadcast in Germany on Kika, in Italy on Rai Yoyo and in China on the Youku platform, which is part of the global Alibaba group.
This collaboration with CANAL+ confirms the appeal of the Grisù brand and the potential of the licensing and merchandising activities – jointly owned by ZDF Studios and Mondo TV Group.
After partnering with France Télévisions on the development of Wonder Pony, an animated series due to go into production at the end of 2025, this new partnership with CANAL+ is a very important one for Mondo TV France, confirming its rise as one of Europe’s leading production and distribution companies.
