Pulsar Content (“The Deep House”) has secured worldwide sales on “Dragon Princess,” an ambitious animated feature produced by Ankama, the thriving French studio behind the international franchises “Dofus” and “Wakfu.”
Directed by Jean-Jacques Denis (“Dofus”) and Anthony Roux, “Dragon Princess” tells the story of Bristle, a little girl who is being raised by dragons. When her father is forced to give up his second most valuable possession to Sorcerog, a witch frog, he offers up Bristle. Falling into despair, the little girl flees the family cave and embarks on a journey of discovery in the world of humans. She learns the meaning of friendship and solidarity – and greed, which seems to eat away at men’s heart.
Now completed, the feature was written and produced by Roux, a comicbook author and filmmaker who is the co-founder of Ankama. Based in Northern France, the company best known for developing in-house several...
