Studio 100 International has officially boarded Living Wild, the upcoming high-energy 2D animated comedy-adventure series from Gaumont Animation, serving as its worldwide distributor. The 52 x 11’ series, which targets children aged six to 11, is scheduled for delivery in fall 2026 and will be presented to global buyers at the upcoming MIFA market in Annecy this June.
The project features a strong European broadcast foundation and an international co-production alliance, backed by leading public broadcasters France Télévisions and RAI, and co-produced alongside Enanimation and Toonz Media Group.
‘Living Wild hits a sweet spot: bold comedy with real emotional grounding’, stated Dorian Bühr, Head of Global Distribution at Studio 100 International. ‘It’s wild, crazy, and incredibly funny, but at its heart, the series is about connection, resilience, and figuring things out when nothing goes to plan. We’re excited to join this hilarious road trip and bring Living Wild to audiences around the world’.
The series taps into a universal kids’ fantasy, following three pampered city pets—Tiny Head (a ditsy cat), Ird (a bossy bird), and Chopper (a goofy dog)—who find themselves stranded in the wilderness with zero survival skills, no Wi-Fi, and no clues. Forced to navigate the great outdoors to find their way back home, the narrative relies on trial and error, ridiculous ideas, and the realization that even the best-laid plans can go spectacularly wrong.
Muscling into the competitive kids’ market, the Gaumont Animation production distinguishes itself through its balance of high-energy slapstick, physical humor, and character-driven storytelling. By playing on strong comedic contrasts—such as urban lifestyles versus the wild, and control versus unpredictability—the series explores deeper themes of friendship, resilience, and adaptability. Given its fast-paced nature and flexible formatting, Living Wild is positioned as a strong strategic fit for both linear broadcasters and global streaming platforms.
