Cartoon Digital cartoon digital 5-7 May 2014, Helsinki, Finland Creating Entertainment for Connected Screens Top speakers • Market trends • Case studies • Networking www.cartoon-media.eu PARTNERS CARTOON DIGITAL IS ORGANISED BY WITH THE SUPPORT OF IN COLLABORATION WITH CARTOON IS SPONSORED BY 3 Irina Krohn Managing Director of The Finnish Film Foundation Welcome to Helsinki! e are honoured to host this year’s Cartoon Digital in Helsinki and what better time to do it than the year we are celebrating the 100th100th anniversary anniversary of of Finnish Finnish animation. It is the perfect time to look forward to the Wfuture, at what is possible now and perhaps in the next hundred years. This year the seminar focuses on creating entertainment for connected screens. The lines between different types of entertainment content are becoming increasingly blurred and the platforms on which people access that content are more varied than ever. This presents us with great opportunities for creative partnerships and synergy. The seminar aims to give all of us a better understanding of content creation for a variety of shared platforms. We will hear expert speakers and be introduced to case studies and best practices from different corners of the digital world from television to animation and gaming. And hopefully all of us will also find more personal contacts, new collaboration opportunities and, most importantly, a head full of new ideas. Even though our technical devices allow us to connect easily over great distances, it is always refreshing and inspiring to exchange ideas in person, to talk face-to-face with people and spend a little time in the same physical location. So we hope you will enjoy the seminar and wish you a pleasant and fruitful stay in Helsinki! 4 Petri Kemppinen CEO of Nordisk Film & TV Fond We Love Animation or me, animation is a playground where you can show things that cannot happen in real life. Of course I can imagine, but often stories told using animation take me beyond my own imagination. They have different ways of triggering me: from gags and slapstick to Fdocumenting personal emotions and deep experiences, and with an ever- increasing variety of styles, from beautiful pencilled line drawing to the finesse of digital plush or fur in eyebrows. We at the Nordisk Film & TV Fond top-finance the production and distribution of films and TV-series originating from the five Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden). I take the opportunity to list the animated projects we have supported during the past 12 months: feature films “Bamse” by Tre Vänner (Sweden), “Emil & Ida” by Filmlance (Sweden), “The Christmas of Solan & Ludvig” by Maipo (Norway), “Beyond Beyond” by Copenhagen Bombay (Sweden/Denmark) – the opening film of this year´s Cartoon Movie, “Knutsen & Ludvigsen” by Tordenfilm (Norway) and “Moomins on the Riviera” by Handle Productions (Finland) and the animated series “What if...” by Lee Film (Sweden) and “Rita & Crocodile” by Dansk Tegnefilm Company (Denmark). We are extremely proud to be part of this remarkable amount of diverse and original content from the Nordic countries, travelling all over the world. Cartoon has grown from the very beginning of the 90’s first Forums into “the platform” of the European animation industry. It has been a great achievement that deserves a big round of applause! Likewise I am extremely excited that Cartoon is coming back to Finland, after the Suomi Cartoon Forum 18 years ago, especially when Finnish animation is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Congratulations! I wish the Cartoon Digital participants a fruitful time. Creating new characters and universes, combining technology and storytelling, that’s what the evolution of this wonderful medium has always been about! 5 Steve Pegram Animation Production Executive at Rovio Entertainment Fellow animation professionals, n behalf of Rovio, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Helsinki. As a former European Capital of Culture and the 2013 World Design Capital, Helsinki is a city bursting with creative energy and is proud to host Cartoon Digital 2014. With Finnish Animation celebrating its O100th anniversary, there hasn’t been a better time to visit this magnificent city. I’d like to thank Cartoon once again for bringing together the European audiovisual animation industry, and for keeping it at the forefront of the international market. This event is an excellent way of encouraging cross- border co-productions, supporting the technological revolution going on in the industry, and pioneering the exploitation of digital content around the world. This year’s programme gathers together a rich and diverse collection of internationally renowned speakers from across Europe, and takes a look at the latest developments in the strategy, creation and exploitation of digital content for connected screens. We will be focusing on animation on digital and gaming platforms, something that is the essence of what Rovio is doing – telling stories that transcend platforms and formats. Mobile continues to transform the gaming market, and we will continue to explore the digital dimensions of intellectual properties. Rovio’s ToonsTV, which recently celebrated its first anniversary, has turned every mobile device into a broadcast channel for animation and other video content. With over 2 billion views so far, it showcases the worldwide appeal of bringing together games, animated series and films. We will be also taking a look at the business side of apps, like financing digital content and crowdfunding. I hope you take the time to enjoy what this great city has to offer. Come and learn about the latest developments in the industry, and network with some amazing people in a relaxed and professional atmosphere. 6 Liisa Vähäkylä Managing Director of Finnanimation Dear Participants, t is a pleasure to welcome you warmly to Cartoon Digital in easy-going Helsinki. It is a great honour to have Cartoon returning to Finland the year IFinnish animation is celebrating its 100th anniversary. It was in Helsinki in 1914 that three cinemas showed the first animated shorts made by a Finnish cartoonist Eric Vasström. Also Tove Jansson, the creator of “Moomins”, was born a hundred years ago in Helsinki where she wrote her beloved books. She was also a famous painter and an illustrator for the political magazine Gram. There is currently a large exhibition at the Finnish National Gallery, only 1.2 kilometres away, with many rarities from private collections as well as “Moomin” miniature houses on loan from Tampere Main Library. On top of its colourful past, Finland’s capital has an interesting present: it is considered one of the most influential hubs for the international games industry and it is also home to the majority of Finnish animation studios. Finnish animation is made in versatile formats and techniques from stop-motion to CGI and has many successes from “Angry Birds Toons” to “Niko” features. Animal characters might be our favourites but we can create our own little princesses too! I hope you will make many sorts of discoveries as well as contacts during your stay in Helsinki and that you will have time to cycle along the seaside to enjoy the fresh air and Spring awakening. 8 Marc Vandeweyer Yolanda Alonso General Director of Cartoon Cartoon Masters Director ver the years Cartoon Digital has always tried to enlighten animation producers on the new developments in the digital world that could affect production, financing and O distribution of their animated TV series and animation films. Thanks to the support of Creative Europe of the European Commission, the Finnish Film Foundation, Finnanimation, Rovio Entertainment, and in collaboration with many other Finnish companies, we have been able to organize this year’s edition in Helsinki, Finland’s Capital. That beautiful city is also hailed as global gaming capital in one of the most connected countries in the world. Much of the focus of this year’s conference will be on how animation producers can use their creative and business skills to take on new digital ventures but also to make new and innovative programmes with players who are looking for animation content. At Cartoon Digital, a prestigious line-up of over 30 speakers will come and talk about: The convergence of games and animated films and TV shows Embedded intelligence in objects, with new trends in 3D printed as well as connected toys Where opportunities and weaknesses lie in the global gaming market with the phenomenon of apps in particular How to fundraise digital media companies and projects The growing market for the licensing and merchandising of gaming properties The power of digital broadcasting with TV and VOD platforms Business models from Japan and case studies, of course… We thank our hosts and wish participants a great event where we hope you will acquire new skills, learn a lot and fine-tune your digital projects. 9 INFORMATION Helsinki Congress Paasitorni & Scandic Paasi Hotel Kappeli Omena Lönnrotinkatu Anima Boutique 001/2014 Saaristo HELSINKI DIVISION, SURVEY CITY © 10 THE VENUE ORGANISATION COMMITTEE Helsinki Congress Paasitorni CARTOON Sirkus room Marc Vandeweyer Paasivuorenkatu 5a Yolanda Alonso 00530 Helsinki Julie Liamin T (358) (9) 70 89 611 Joëlle Kesenne Valérie de Halleux Nicola Lennon Isabelle Dro Louise Havard HOTELS Fouzia Arrouj Scandic Paasi **** Av.

  • Animation Studies – Vol.3, 2008 33
    Animation Studies – Vol.3, 2008 María Lorenzo Hernández Visions of a Future Past Ulysses 31, a Televised Re-interpretation of Homer’s Classic Myth This paper gives an overview of the animated series Ulysses 31 (1981), a French-Japanese co- production based on the epic poem The Odyssey, which introduced children and young audiences to Greek myths, relocating the original narratives into futuristic contexts such as the 31st century. Twenty-five years later Ulysses 31 remains a cult series, however it is also largely unknown since the images it invokes are buried in the memories of childhood. Although the series substitutes the wooden ships with spacecrafts crossing the universe of Olympus, Ulysses 31 manages to capture some of the original relationships within Homer’s thesis, in spite of their eccentric portrait. The heavy use of pastiche takes us back to the 1980s and the emergence of the ‘new’ fantasy-driven science fiction cinema; thus it is important to examine and discuss the series’ employment of futurist aesthetics and technology in its exposé of classic mythology. Ulysses 31 is a good example of a successful series from that period. Employing traditional animation throughout -such as painting on cells, cut-outs and the use of the multiplane camera- the art of the series offers a distinctive style that would be virtually impossible to reproduce through more recent technology. This paper will examine this aesthetic and compare it to similar shows from that period in order to locate its place in ‘the future past’. Ulysses as a Cosmic Adventurer One of the characteristics of the series that becomes apparent initially is the noticeable coherence of the series’ concept.
