During their journey they will learn that daring does not mean rushing blindly into things, it is about stretching one’s limits, becoming autonomous, being curious, and most of all daring to be yourself. Gigantosaurus’s trailer has been successfully revealed at Cartoon Forum 2015 in Toulouse (France) and has been even more successful at MIP Junior 2016 (France/Cannes) by ranking at no. 11 in the 30th most popular shows!

Mrs. Muchmore gets so fond of Taffy that she decides to have him in her Manor. But Bentley is no dummy and knows instantly that Taffy is not a cat. He’ll stop at nothing to take down the intruder!

Pierre Sissmann, Chairman and CEO of Cyber Group Studios says: “We are obviously thrilled with these results, which are a testimony of the hard work and dedication of all the talented artists and animation executives who have worked on these shows; and hope that soon they will reach their audience all over the world, which is what they are intended for.”
