Is France a new El Dorado Netflix? This is a surprising statement of this huge project supported by Guillermo Del Toro

Even if we start this sometimes, France occupies a very important place in the movie world, especially in animated cinema. Our country has many very well -known schools, including tapelists, which is an international industry. So much so that big American studios like Pixar came there with students, sometimes even to the graduate.

This is where Ted Sarandos, CEO of Netflix and director Guillermo Del Toro, currently went to the tournament to present his new film Frankenstein.

France, Animation Eldorado?

During this conference that our colleagues were attended VarietyTwo men have announced that the studio that is suspended to stop the animation of the movement will be built… in the school building! Created as ”Laboratory of Research and Experiments“, Project”The next generation of animated artists will allow them to learn, cooperate, innovate, and set the boundaries of art.”

This statement confirms Netflix’s interest in animation in France, after several projects that have already gave our talents to the internet level: Arcane, Asterix and Battle of Heads and Blue Eye Samurai.

Heart project

For several years under the guidance of Guillermo Del Toro, this studio project is also tribute to Mark Gustafson, now the deceased, who was a huge source of inspiration for his film Pinocchio. After a 20 -year study by Netflix, the film won an Oscar for the best animated film in 2023. It is enough to convince the platform to be interested in the style of animation that is often recognized but rarely funded.

Pinocchio’s similar success logically explains other projects, and the romance between Netflix and Del Toro, of course, was only at the beginning of it. From there to sponsor the animated studio, obviously? It has to be said that CEO Ted Sarandos was convinced with the director’s enthusiasm. He says:

“What I really like about Stop Motion Animation. I learned from Del Toro that it’s a movie. Costume design, kit, lighting, camera, everything is there. Teams are the same for the movie as Stop Motion.”

We, of course, are waiting for the knowledge of what will come out of this studio, but we are already happy that this statement will help to further popularize the talents of our animators around the world.
