As animated film continues to gain force all over the world, the 15th Cartoon Movie received a record 120 distributors from Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia, up 20% from last year. The fact is that recent European animation films have drawn a significant number of viewers into the theatres, despite the rough competition: “Tad the Lost Explorer” made 2.7 million admissions in Spain, “Ernest & Celestine” and “Kirikou 3” are reaching 1 million each in France, Finland’s ”Niko 2” was seen by 2 million people internationally and Germany’s “Raven the Little Rascal” and “Knight Rusty” are both above 600 000. “Europe also can produce high-quality, commercial films and has nothing to envy to American productions”, feels Marc Vandeweyer, Director of CARTOON.
