ANIMASHOW S1.E3

SUMMARY
For this episode of Animashow, I'm delighted to welcome Natalie Altmann, founder and CEO of Media Valley. Natalie was in charge of Groupe M6's youth division before launching Media Valley in 2010, which produces the animated series Les Triplés, Oum Le Dauphin Blanc, Le Petit Nicolas, and more recently Ernest & Rebecca, a series adapted from the albums by Guillaume Bianco (scriptwriter) and Antonello Dalena (illustrator). Media Valley also executive produced the 3D animated films Astérix & Obélix : Le Domaine des Dieux and Le Secret de la Potion Magique, which sold 3 and 4 million tickets in France respectively.
