French animation powerhouse teams with Simon & Schuster, Universal Music Publishing and Startling Music for the TV adaptation of the book ‘Octopus's Garden,’ based on the famous song written and sung by Ringo Starr.
SUPERPROD will pitch the project at upcoming international TV market MIPTV next April and international sales company SUPERIGHTS will represent international rights to the animation program.
"We are particularly proud and happy to work on this great book and music. The evergreen song by Ringo Starr and the superb drawings by Ben Cort are a wonderful setting for telling our animated stories. We are thrilled to team-up with such great talents and major partners in the music and book publishing industries,” remarked Clément Calvet and Jeremie Fajner at SUPERPROD.
“We are delighted that all these leading parties have come together to work on such an exciting project. It is a real coup to be working with Superprod and we can’t wait to see their adaptation” added Alexandra Maramenides at Simon & Schuster Children’s.
