Annecy, France — In further signs of growth on Europe’s animation scene, Grid Animation will go into production in 2019 on feature film “Crazy Island,” as it sets up TV series “Crazy Humans,” both riffs on the zany world of world famous Argentine cartoonist Guillermo Mordillo.
The new production announcements come as Grid, a building force in Europe, has opened a new animation studios in Lille, north-east France, and Spain’s Canary Island of Tenerife, in order to tap into new animation talent pools and financing facilities as it ramps up production.
Another sign of growth: Grid is one of the few companies at 2018’s Annecy Festival to have two features in major sections, both playing out of competition: “Captain Morten and the Spider Queen,” which segues from a world premiere at the 2018 Animafest Zagreb festival, and “Marnie’s World.”
