TEAMTO'S ORIGINALS, A PROVEN WAY TO CAPTURE GLOBAL AUDIENCES

TeamTO's established productions, such as Emmynominated "Angelo Rules" (five seasons and a Christmas special), animated comedy series "Presto! School of Magic," and "Mighty Mike," which have been sold worldwide, have helped to build the French studio's reputation as a leading, high-quality content creator in Europe.

In 2022, the company launched the first season of "Jade Armor," a new action-adventure comedy series starring a strong, kung-fuloving female central character. The series debuted on France Télévisions' Okoo last September and Super RTL's toggo.de in November. "The results were excellent, the channels were extremely happy with the show, and we look forward to bringing the show to Latin America soon," Corinne Kouper, co-Founder and SVP of Production and Development at TeamTO, told Señal News. The company is developing the show's second season and will start production in June. "'Jade Armor' is turning into a brand and has the potential to become an exciting franchise," added Patricia de Wilde, Director of Marketing & New Business and producer. Another strong TeamTO title for kids is "Angelo Rules," with a fifth season launched this year in France and Germany. "The show has been going very well for over ten years," commented Kouper. The series is a co-production with long-standing partners France Télévisions, Canal+, and Super RTL.

THE FRENCH ANIMATION STUDIO OFFERS A RANGE OF ORIGINAL SERIES TO A BROAD AUDIENCE, SUCH AS "JADE ARMOR" AND "BEHIND THE BEATS." CORINNE KOUPER , COFOUNDER AND SVP OF PRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT, AND PATRICIA DE WILDE , DIRECTOR OF MARKETING & NEW BUSINESS AND PRODUCER AT TEAMTO, DESCRIBE THE STRATEGY BEHIND EACH TITLE.

TeamTO has also started the global distribution of "Behind the Beats" after being launched as a YouTube Original last fall. "The show is now available for broadcasters, platforms, FAST channels, and any client interested in an animated pop music anthology with a uniquely wide audience potential," de Wilde stated. The first season, with 26 five-minute episodes, is now available in English, French, and Spanish, so it is a perfect fit for Latin American players. "The documentary series has a voiceover, so it is quite simple to dub in any language," she added.

New Projects

Among its new productions, TeamTO's executives mentioned the original action-adventure comedy show "Next Level: Odyssey," starring 11-year-old Kiran, who falls through a portal into the world of mythology and is tasked with saving the legendary King Odysseus. "We have three partners coming on board, which we hope to announce soon," Kouper said. Other developments include the adventure feature film "Ninn," based on a series of graphic novels by Jean-Michel Darlot and Johan Pilet, and "Orion and Journal 24," an animated sitcom set in space. "It's a sci-fi comedy. We are also currently working on the development of 'What's up Esha,' which we pitched at Cartoon Forum. It's a preschool show that takes place in a small village in the snow with a whole cast of endearing characters that have little adventures together," de Wilde added.
