Little Nicholas – Happy as Can Be (2022)
Director: Toby Genkel, Florian Westermann
Leaning over a large blank paper sheet somewhere between Montmartre and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Jean-Jacques Sempé and René Goscinny bring to life "Little Nicolas", a cheerful and mischievous child. His is a joyful childhood, full of games, fun, jokes, learning, complicity, fights and punishments. Nicolas' adventures take him to the studio of his creators, where he light-heartedly talks with them. Sempé and Goscinny tell him how they met and became friends while also answering questions about their careers, their childhood and their ambitions.
The Amazing Maurice (2022)
Director: Toby Genkel, Florian Westermann
Maurice, a stray cat, has come up with the perfect money-making scam. He finds a boy who plays the flute and befriends his horde of talking rats as, this way, he doesn't perceive them as food. Maurice and the rodents find Malice in the town of Bad Blintz. Their scam falls short after they discover something unexpected in a basement.
Extraordinary Tales (2015)
Director: Raúl García
Feature film divided into several stories based on Master Edgard Allan Poe's works. Each of the shorts, or chapters, are made with a different technique, but they all share a common ground; the pictorial or illustration aspect that the director wanted to preserve.
Black is Beltza II: Ainhoa
Ainhoa was born in Milagro in La Paz (Bolivia) after the death of her mother Amanda in a vigilante attack. She grew up in Cuba and in 1988, at the age of 21, she traveled to the Basque Country to visit the land of her father, Manex.
In the midst of a repressive conflict, she meets Josune, a committed journalist, and her gang. After one of them dies due to heroin overdose, Ainhoa and Josune set off on a journey of initiation that will take them through Lebanon, Afghanistan and the city of Marseille.
During the last years of the Cold War, both will immerse themselves in the dark world of drug trafficking networks and their close links with political plots.
Vampiras
After more than 300 years in hiding, Dracula's brides must unite once again to stop the most diabolical threat from their past, their sister MINA (Johanna Fadul).
With the help of Romualdo (Anderson Ballesteros), a power-hungry cartel leader, and an army of narcos under her command, MINA is plunging the city of Los Angeles into chaos. The only ones that can stop her are Luna (Bruna Rubio), Adriana (Millet Figueroa) and Katya (Yuri Vargas) with the help of their mentor Ingrid (Maria Conchita Alonso).
El Detectiu Conan – Capítol 1000
After Japanese, Catalan is the language with the most dubbed chapters of the great series Case Closed. This might be one of the reasons why we Catalans are so enthusiastic of our beloved Conan Edogawa. That's why for the arrival of the 1000th chapter there will be an event held at Comic Barcelona together with the X3 channel.
Érase una vez
A count and his daughter live in the charming Aubanel castle. Thanks to her beauty and kindness, the young countess is loved by all her vassals, but abused by her stepmother and stepsister. One of her pages will free her from that slavery with the help of a magician and his cat Ulysses. Loose adaptation of the story of Cinderella, by Charles Perrault.
Unicorn Wars
El ejército osito adoctrina a jóvenes reclutas para conducirlos a la guerra que han iniciado contra los unicornios porque creen que amenaza la seguridad de su pueblo.
Los hermanos Azulín y Gordi, junto a un inexperto grupo de reclutas, serán enviados a una peligrosa misión para salvar el Bosque Mágico… ¿estarán los ositos preparados para ello?
