ANTÓN PIÑÓN

Target: Preschool

Format: 52 x 7’ – 2D

Genre: Adventure/Comedy/Friendship

Producer: Imagic TV

Co-Producer: NHK Enterprises

Antón Piñón follows the endearing misadventures of a clumsy yet loving blue lemming who lives in a vibrant forest with his wise — and delightfully unpredictable — grandma Abuela, along with his 27 chaotic siblings. Antón’s best friends — Violeta, playful and full of giggles; Modesto, sporty and practical; Benito, thoughtful and cautious; and Beatriz, the brave adventurer — are always ready to join the fun. From dodging bath time to exploring the forest or tumbling into sticky, messy situations, Antón and his friends discover that the best part of any adventure is sharing it with family and friends, no matter how wonderfully chaotic life becomes.

NOME IS AN ISLAND

Target: Upper Pre-school

Format: 26 x 7’ – 2D

Genre: Educational/Friendship/Inclusion

Producer: To Blink Animation

Co-Producer: Imagic TV

Nome is an Island is a series about empowering stories of children who are teased or bullied, but who discover strength and self-confidence in the very traits they were once mocked for. Set by the sea and the beach, the series uses imagination and playful transformations to show characters becoming sea creatures—sharks, sea urchins, octopuses, seashells—or, like Nome, even an island. With each adventure, the show inspires young viewers to rise above negativity and embrace what makes them unique.

SAN MISTERIO

Target: Kids

Format: 26 x 11’ – Cut-out

Genre: Adventure/Comedy/Mystery

Producer: Mago Production

Co-Producer: Mistral Films Studio

San Misterio adapts the universe of the comic El enigma de los mensajes, created by Carlos Sallas, though it does not follow the original plot. The story centers on Luna, a girl who moves to a small mountain town full of secrets, adventures, and humour. Over the course of the series, she uncovers a hidden past connected to witches—essential figures of folklore reimagined from a contemporary perspective. With a relatable tone and universal themes such as female empowerment, connection to nature, and the discovery of family history, the series resonates widely. Its 2D tradigital animation further enriches the magical settings, where anything can happen.

LIMBO VILLE

Target: Kids

Format: 26 x 11’

Genre: Adventure/Comedy/Mystery

Producer: Mago Production

Co-Producer: Mistral Films Studio

Limbo Ville follows Alex, a 12-year-old girl who, after losing her two mothers, discovers that ghosts are real. With her eccentric godmother Mimi and Mimi’s partner Cuqui, she runs a real estate agency for spirits to avoid returning to the orphanage. Yet Alex’s true mission is personal: to find out if her mothers have also become ghosts. Set in the strange city of Limbo Ville, the series blends comedy, mystery, and supernatural adventure, while exploring grief, resilience, and family. Aimed at kids, its humor and fantasy also appeal to older children and a broader audience.
