Exclusive: Folivari International will distribute the series spin-off of popular animated movie Pil’s Adventures.

The Pil’s Adventures movie was released theatrically in 2021, going on to sell into 80 territories. It ended the year the second most screened French film internationally.

Ahead of Annecy and the MIFA animation market, France-based animation distributor Folivari has snagged rights and will sell the Pil’s Adventure series internationally. It was previously shopped by Federation.

Pil’s Adventures is produced by Tat Productions, which makes The Jungle Bunch and new animated Netflix series Asterix & Obelix: The Big Fight. Commissioned by France Télévisions, it has already sold to Svt in Sweden and Swiss broadcaster Rts.

The series will run to 52 episodes of 13-minutes. The first episodes are already available with the remainder delivering next May. Directed by Benjamin Lagard and Jérémie Guneau, the series is based on an original idea by Julien Fournet, who also serves as writer and showrunner.

Fans of Sherlock Holmes have been rather spoiled when it comes to live-action adaptations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's detective stories. Now, the popular British sleuth is getting an animated spinoff series that everyone can enjoy.

Per Deadline, the aptly titled, "Baker Street Four will follow a ragtag trio of street urchins and a cat called Watson, who acts as legendary detective Sherlock Holmes' eyes and ears on the ground." The project is based on the French comic book series called Les Quatre de Baker Street from writers Jean-Blaise Djian and Olivier Legrand, with illustrations by David Etien. The show, which has entered production, is aimed at children aged between six and 10 years old.
