So MIPTV is going on now in Cannes. For those that don't know:
MIPTV Media Market is an event which takes place annually in Cannes, using the facilities and infrastructure which the town has developed over the years to host other important events such as the Cannes Film Festival amongst other events.
It is essentially a content market for co-producing, buying, selling, financing and distributing entertainment content. It provides the people involved in the TV, film, digital and audiovisual content, production and distribution industry a market conference and networking forum to discover future trends and trade content rights on a global level.
Full disclosure: that explanation is taken directly from Wikipedia because, quite frankly, I didn't feel like coming up with my own explanation for what it is.
Appearing at MIPTV with many other media is animation. Most of the time the shows appearing are stuff I have never heard of before. So, I present to you my:
Top Ten Favorite Animated Series at MIPTV Based on Title Only:
10) Galactik Football 3 - Great, now I have to try to find the first two seasons on Netflix.
9) Monkey Business - (Crossing fingers and closing eyes.) Please be about a monkey with an office job! Please be about a monkey with an office job!
8) The Small Giant - You mean..."the person?"
7) The ABC Monsters - The picture in the MIP Guide is of monsters literally shaped like letters of the alphabet. Little on the nose, aren't we?
6) Iconicles - What?
5) Rocket Monkeys - 'Nuff said. Sold!
4) The Adventures of Compass and Alarm Clock - Yes, it is exactly what you're thinking.
3) Justin Time - Get out.
2) Kung Fu Chicken - Nothing not to like about those three words together.
1) Animation Hotline - Uh...It can't be just me who thinks that sounds inappropriate, right?
