It’s a wrap for the 2022 edition of Toulouse’s Cartoon Forum, which unspooled from 19-22 September. During the final press conference that took place on the last day of the gathering, the Cartoon team revealed that this year saw a record attendance of 1,075 industry professionals from 40 different countries, 292 of whom were buyers (20% of these were new attendees, up 7% on the 2021 figures). The attendees were equally split between men (50%) and women (50%), thus achieving a commendable gender balance. However, 63% of the directing teams were men-only, whilst 27% were women-only, and 10% included both women and men. Moreover, 54% of the producing teams were men-only, 26% were women-only, and 20% included both men and women. In total, 537 outfits attended the event (+8% on the 2021 figures), and 34 new producers pitched their project for the first time at a Cartoon event.

On the afternoon of 22 September, the Cartoon team also handed out their traditional Cartoon Tributes, the awards given out by European animation professionals in recognition of the outstanding work of investors, broadcasters and producers over the previous year. The Investor and Producer of the Year Awards went to two Barcelona-based companies: GoldBee and Peekaboo Animation, respectively, whilst Germany's KiKA was crowned Broadcaster of the Year. Companies from Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Slovakia were also among the finalists for the Tributes’ 16th edition.

GoldBee was awarded in recognition of its catalogue of over 2,500 half-hour programmes, and its slate of children's and family content provided to broadcasters and digital platforms. Its recent successful productions include Ziggy and the Zootram, Henrietta and Cleo & Cuquin. The list of other nominees in the same category included DR Sales (Denmark), KidsMe (Italy) and Nathan Univers Jeunesse (France).

KiKA, which is operated jointly by pubcasters ARD and ZDF, was rewarded in light of its role as Germany’s leading children’s content provider. The platform offers commercial and violence-free content through its linear and non-linear offerings. Odo, Stinky Dog [+lee también:
