This year’s edition of the Annecy Int’l Animated Film Festival (June 10-15) in France will open with the world premiere screening of Playmobil: The Movie, produced by ON Animation Studios in Montreal and based on the globally popular toy brand. The movie was presented as a Work in Progress at last year’s festival. Pathé will release the film in France on August 7, kicking off its rollout across Europe and worldwide.
Playmobil: The Movie is directed by Disney veteran Lino DiSalvo (head of animation, Frozen). The Annecy world premiere is scheduled for June 10 at 8:30 p.m. in the Bonlieu Grand Salle during the opening ceremony (invitation only), with DiSalvo and the film’s producers in attendance.
