CEO Andy Heyward to Reveal Details at Harbor Sundance Event on Sunday, January 26
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kartoon Studios (NYSE American: TOON) today announced the world premiere of the highly anticipated sneak peek trailer for the company’s animated The Hundred Acre Wood’s Winnie-the-Pooh during the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. The trailer will be presented by Kartoon Studios’ CEO, Andy Heyward, at the Harbor Sundance Event hosted by The Harbor Fund on Sunday, January 26.
Kartoon Studios’ Hundred Acre Wood’s Winnie-the-Pooh is based on one of the most massively successful and beloved children’s properties of all time. This newly imagined production of A.A. Milne’s classic books and characters represents the company's largest and most ambitious production to date. The sneak peek trailer will showcase the production’s distinctive yarn-based animation style — a visually enchanting design approach that seamlessly blends nostalgia with modern storytelling. With its rich textures, vibrant color palettes, and heartwarming aesthetic, this animation style breathes fresh life into A.A. Milne’s timeless characters while staying true to their original charm.
"In a world that can be confusing and challenging for children, The Hundred Acre Wood’s Winnie-the-Pooh is an oasis of goodness, grounded in themes of family, friendship, kindness, and love," said Andy Heyward, CEO of Kartoon Studios. "Our new series honors the warmth and simplicity of A.A. Milne’s original vision while introducing fresh, heartfelt stories, showcasing the unique neurodiversity of the timeless characters. The goodness of the forest and staying connected to nature are so important. Even the special bond that humankind shares with bees. These are things that, sadly, kids experience less and less in today’s world, which is ever dependent on excessive screen time and instant gratification. We’re confident this will become a defining chapter in the legacy of Winnie-the-Pooh."
Harbor Fund seeks out the highest-quality feature film and television productions that promote the public good.
