‘Trico’, la nouvelle comédie slapstick de Xilam Animation, acquise par Netflix

” A demand for non-verbal comedies, as well as a chance to expand into 3D animation, spurred the studio to make Trico, says CEO Marc du Pontavice.

Netflix has picked up exclusive rights to Xilam Animation’s new CG-animated comedy Trico, which will debut in early 2022.

Hugo Gittard (Zig & Sharko, Magoo) created the non-verbal series about a retired globetrotting sheep who disrupts a peaceful mountain pasture and has to work with a friend to defend the other sheep from a sneaky wolf.

Xilam was motivated to make the 78 x seven-minute series after the success of Zig & Sharko, says CEO Marc du Pontavice. The non-verbal comedy nature of both shows gives them longer international legs, and the ability to reach a much wider audience. Seeing the success of Xilam’s other shows in this vein, Netflix approached the studio to create a slapstick series, he adds. ”
