Emmy Award-winning French animation production and distribution company Dandelooo has finalized a deal for the preschool series Pol The Pirate Mouse (13 x 7’).

The deal with Dutch production company Submarine gives Dandelooo exclusive worldwide distribution rights to the 3D animation targeted at 3- to 6-year-olds.  Available as a 13 x 7-minute series and a 25-minute TV special with a full new story, Pol The Pirate Mouse is currently in production and set for delivery in the second quarter of 2025.

 First launched as a children’s picture book in 2019 written by Tingue Dongelmans and illustrated by Denise van Leeuwen, Pol The Pirate Mouse tells the story of how Pol came from being a city mouse to living in the forest, the greatest adventure playground known to man or mouse!  It’s the perfect environment to let your imagination run wild, all under the guise of being a pirate.
