Characters like The Triplets, Scruff, Bernard, Lola & Virginia, Conrad or Soundbugs, among many others, all have their own slots on TV and some have even made their debut on the big screen. Indeed, new in this year’s catalogue is the inclusion of feature-length animation for theatrical distribution, such as The hairy tooth fairy (Pérez, el ratoncito de tus sueños), a production funded by the international co-production support programme, Raíces. In 2007’s catalo- gue you will come across productions from previous editions, the success of which has extended their travels through territories the world over and which are now beginning to break in to new platforms such as mobile phones. You will also find new projects in a variety of formats, whether feature-length, shorts or television series. On the other hand, this current compilation of titles will make a first appearance at one of the key events in the animation calendar, the Cartoon Forum, which this year will be held in Catalonia.
