🎂 20 years of Animation Production Days - We have gathered a few of all of the voices and people who were present at APD over the years:

"Congratulations to Animation Production Days on your 20th anniversary!
APD has been an important part of my professional development — a place where I found production partners and also made new friendships. Some of the most unforgettable moments in the history of our company are linked to APD and the people I met there.
Numerous series and films emerged from those wonderful one-to-one-meetings at APD. It is an honor to be part of this event every year, and I am deeply grateful for the role it has played in my career.
I wish you many more successful years ahead."

"I’ve been attending Animation Production Days since its earliest days, when it was still a small and close-knit gathering. Seeing it grow into such an important international event has been truly impressive.

The organization has always been outstanding and incredibly efficient.
It’s a wonderful place to connect with others – thank you to everyone involved!"

"APD is for sure my favourite pitching forum in Western Europe.
For several reasons... There is always super strong representation of all key players in the region - producers, broadcasters, funding bodies and distributors.

The venue is "small enough" to make sure we all meet and talk person to person, which is a huge advantage if you ask me. And the organisation of the venue and our one-on-one meetings is always impeccable!!! I love it. Huge congrats to APD (and to us as producers) for the first 20 years of creating a great scene to pitch and financing on.
Now let's get another 20 years."

🎬Project 50 - The Band Below the Boat🦈 (APD Talent Project)

Bowie, Betty, and Barry are always being given errands by their parents. Picking up litter or finding keys may seem dull to any adult, but for them, these are epic adventures. A neighbor's lost key is a decoded cipher; a littered park, a battlefield under siege by toxic invaders. Their imagination turns mundane chores into high-stakes missions: action battles, Sherlockian mysteries, or spy operations. For this trio, the ordinary doesn't exist; every task is a legendary story.

H501 Studio is a production company from Spain. They are currently concepting this 2D cut-out (with real backgroungs) animated TV Series for Children (6-9 years).
