Paris, Hong Kong and L.A-based sales company All Rights Entertainment has picked up worldwide rights for “The Defects,” a 3D animated sci-fi comedy that drew significant buzz as this year’s Cartoon Movie, which ran from March 5 – 7 in Bordeaux.
Directed by Federico Milella (“The Fairy Princess & the Unicorn”) and produced by Luxembourg-based Fabrique d’Images, the family adventure will enter production later this year with budget of €10 million ($10.9 million) with an intended 2027 delivery date.
France’s Fantabulous and Belgium’s Freaks Factory will co-produce, while Belgian artist Stéphane Halleux – whose steampunk influence shaped the Oscar winning short “Mr. Hublot” – will oversee the film’s look and feel.
Described as kind of “Blade Runner” given a family friendly polish, “The Defects” takes place in a retro-futuristic suburbia where faulty humans are replaced by perfect robotic clones. When 12-year-old tech-head Hope falls in with a gang of likeminded outcasts, the misfit...

Fairies, unicorns and dragons are a recipe for success in any child-friendly film. Nothing quite captures the imagination of the younger viewer than these mythical beings being brought to life on screen. Directors Aina Järvine and Federico Milella’s animated fantasy The Fairy Princess and the Unicorn delivers as its title suggests in a simple, sweet and innocent way, complete with cute animals that would not look out of place accompanying any Disney hero(ine).
The diverse fairyland of Bayala and its magic is under threat from a decay called ‘the wilt’, after wicked shadow fairy leader Ophira (voiced by Liza Ortiz) stole all the dragons’ eggs that supply its magic. Ophira also kidnapped sun fairy Princess Surah (voiced by Madison Mullahey) as a child, raising her with her shadow fairy cousin Princess Nuray (voiced by Rebecca Becker) and slowly mutating her sun wings into shadow ones, so that she...
