Rémi Chayé’s “Fleur,” Claude Barras’ “You’re Not the One I Expected” and Alberto Vázquez’s “Unicorn Wars” are some of the multiple potential standouts at the 24th edition of Cartoon Movie, Europe’s leading animated movie co-production event.
Scheduled to take place in Bordeaux, France, over March 8-10, the 2022 Cartoon Movie lineup features 57 projects, 15 hail from France, which is seven fewer than last year as animation grows in the rest of Europe but still marks its predominance in Europe as a producer of arthouse and crossover animated movies.
For the third year running, Spain has the second largest presence at Cartoon Movie with eight titles, a sign of its build as a significant animation producer and host of animation events such as Cartoon Springboard, confirmed last week, Cartoon Business and the Quirino Awards.

Not all of this year’s animated Oscar contenders involve talking or singing animals. Several also explore female adventure: Disney’s “Moana,” Gkids’ “Miss Hokusai” and “April and the Extraordinary World” and “Long Way North” from the kid-friendly Shout! Factory.
Indeed, for “Long Way North,” first-time director Rémi Chayé pursued a passion for sumptuous landscapes and subtle hand-drawn stylization. It’s the story of story of Sasha, a young Russian aristocrat who sets out to find her grandfather and his missing ship that disappeared during an expedition to the North Pole.
“Long Way North” was inspired by Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914–17), the first attempted land crossing of the Antarctic continent.
“Russia is exciting for me because it’s huge [unlike France] and for me that impression is very inspiring and so was the Endurance Expedition,” Chayé told IndieWire. He relied on a simple color palette and employed long takes whenever possible.
