Galaxi Taxi

Galaxi Taxi, an animated series for young audiences, was created by Jan Steliżuk. The plot is set in outer space. The series’ protagonists are three individuals who are the crew of a galactic taxicab: one is Alien, who looks like a large blue mouse with disproportionately large ears, another is the stuffed wind-up Rabbit, and the third is the slimy Worm, who spends every free moment inside his apple.

Galaxi Taxi is a co-production between Poland, Germany and Finland, produced by Fumi Studio, J&P Studio Grafiki Filmowej, The Big B Animation, and Classic Hus. The project is co-financed by the Polish Film Institute. A trailer for the series is available here.

Podróże na burzowej chmurze (The Eye Cloud Odyssey)

Podróże na burzowej chmurze (The Eye Cloud Odyssey) is an animated series, created by Agnieszka Sadurska and produced by Filmograf and Studio Miniatur Filmowych. It is the story of two Polish dwarves – they set out to help their friend, who had been turned into a plaster garden troll. While traveling in search of their friend across the countries of the EU, they meet other gnomes, trolls and various elves, inhabiting the different countries. A trailer for the series is available here.

Cartoon Forum

Cartoon Forum is a prestigious industry event for the animated film industry: producers, distributors, and the media. Since 1990, the event has become very effective at fostering production of animated film projects. Ever year, dozens of films are submitted for the competition selection process. The chosen productions are pitched by their creators to media representatives, film producers and distributors in the form of 45-minute-long forum presentations. In 2011, Cartoon Forum was held in Sopot.
