December 5, 2023

French distributor Dandelooo has acquired exclusive worldwide sales rights to Marcel, Father Christmas (and the Little Pizza Delivery Boy).

This 2D-animated holiday special is slated for a December 24 premiere on Canal+ and the myCANAL app  in France. Presented at last year’s Cartoon Forum, Marcel, Father Christmas (45 minutes) is produced by Xbo Films (The Boy and the Elephant and A Stone in the Shoe), which specializes in documentaries and animated short films. The French prodco currently has nearly 30 projects in the pipeline, including stop-motion specials Ash and the Christmas Creatures and Zoobox.

Set against the backdrop of a gloomy neighborhood on Christmas Eve, the Marcel, Father Christmas special looks at how a young pizza delivery boy helps Marcel (a.k.a. Father Christmas) distribute all of his gifts on time after a scooter accident throws him off schedule.
