Paris-based independent animation studio Millimages is heading to MIPCOM with two original animated series developed in collaboration with M6/Gulli: Benny and the Bin Buddies (52 x 7’), which is currently in production, and Calypso (52 x 11’), which is in development.
Created by Fabrice Ravier, Benny and the Bin Buddies is a 3D comedy tailored for upper preschool audiences. The series follows three raccoon garbage collectors and Benny, their highly expressive truck, as their daily rounds across Nicelittletown inevitably turn into increasingly chaotic situations. Millimages is utilizing the MIPCOM market to present the project to international partners as the studio continues to build out its financing and distribution strategy.
Calypso, meanwhile, is a 2D fantasy comedy adventure aimed at a broader kids’ demographic. The series centers on an 11-year-old girl whose dreams and nightmares magically come to life each morning, creating unexpected consequences as she navigates family, friendship, and the everyday challenges of growing up.
These two distinct projects build upon Millimages’s long-standing relationship with M6/Gulli while simultaneously expanding the studio’s original slate across different age groups and animation formats. At this year’s market, the studio will focus heavily on securing international partners for both titles, alongside showcasing its wider development and production lineup.
