A 2D animation series titled ‘Olga’ has been picked up for worldwide distribution by MIAM!
The series, which targets children aged 6 to 9 years old who have a scientific mind but find it difficult to relate to other children, is an international co-production between Apartment 11 Canada and Fabrique Fantastique (Belgium).
It ranked 10th among the projects selected at Cartoon Forum 2025.
When 10-year-old budding zoologist, Olga, who would rather spend time with animals than with humans, discovers a strange, stinky creature obsessed with people, her scientific mission to study it forces her into the wildest environment of all – human connection. What starts as an experiment may turn into her first real attempt at friendship.
On its choice to distribute the series, CEO MIAM! Hanna Mouchez said, “ ‘Olga’ moved us! She is a young girl we are not used to seeing on screen: introverted yet widely curious. Her scientific distance and difficulty with social codes make her both vulnerable and strong. We are proud to welcome her into the MIAM! distribution catalogue and to give space to this singular voice alongside other independent and free-thinking heroines.”
‘Olga’ is the adaptation of award-winning author and illustrator, Elise Gravel’s best-selling graphic novel series, published by HarperCollins and translated into 11 languages.
