Cartoon Forum 2019: Deadline 8 May

Cartoon Forum: 16-19 September 2019
What is Cartoon Forum? And why should animators know about it?

Cartoon Forum is Europe's biggest TV pitch-fest for animation, so if you have an idea for a TV series in your head, Cartoon Forum is the place to pitch it.

The deadline to submit your series project this year is 8 May. So, you have a little more time to sharpen your pencils, fill out some forms - and make your pitch perfect.

About Cartoon Forum
Cartoon Forum is a European pitching and co-production event for TV animation. It includes 850 participants from 35 countries, including 250 buyers.

Does it work?
Cartoon Forum says it has successfully resulted in over 700 series financed for a budget of €2.2 billion since its creation in 1990.

Bi-Lingual Forum
Toulouse, France

Cartoon Forum is officially bi-lingual. Everyone has headsets, and translators will translate your English language pitch into French.  Of course, it helps to parler un peu Franglais, but that's just good manners.

Where and When
Cartoon Forum takes place from 16-19 September 2019 in Toulouse, France.

When is the deadline?
The deadline to send in your pitch is 8 May.

Here at Animation Apprentice we encourage all our students to pitch ideas for animation, for TV series, for movies - anything that gets you thinking about the creative side of animation.

Becoming an animator is not just about learning your craft, it's about thinking, creating - coming up with ideas. Who knows? Your idea could be the next Peppa Pig, Bob The Builder, or Teletubbies.
