After the acquisition of “Maya The Bee” and “Vicky the Viking” in 2011, ORF is completing the package of the new revised animation 3-D/CGI classic series with the procurement of Heidi. The popular and iconic animated series will be revived and modernized in 3-D/CGI and will be produced by Studio 100 Animation SAS and Flying Bark Productions. Heidi is set for delivery at the end of 2014, with Studio 100 Media responsible for the worldwide distribution. Commenting on the agreement, Dr. Andrea Bogad-Radatz, SVP of Film & Series at ORF said, “With the acquisition of Heidi the classic package is now complete. It’s not just children who love the series but parents and grandparents too who are optimally entertained and who enjoy remembering their childhood. I still think the idea of Studio 100 reviving the heroes of past generations in a contemporary 3-D animation is marvelous. We hereby guarantee the best children’s entertainment series for children and adults for the future”. Patrick Elmendorff, Managing Director of Studio 100 Media added, “Looking back at our partnership and looking forward to a further successful and continuing co-operation, we are proud to once again join forces with ORF and are delighted that Heidi has joined Maya and Vicky and found a new home at ORF.” |
