Animation plays an important role in the French film and audiovisual landscape: in 2023, France will be Europe's leading animation producer, and third in terms of exports.

This is why Unifrance has decided to develop MyFrenchAnimationDays (MyFAD): a special operation to highlight the creativity of French animation and its industry, and to raise awareness of it among audiences around the world, with the help of its partners and in particular its animation distributor and producer members.

Over the past few months, French animation has been in the spotlight at numerous events, both general and focused on animation. From the Cannes International Film Festival to the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, animation was on the move this spring. 

Between January and June 2024, nearly 700 French productions were released across all five continents. Of these, 53 were animated films, representing 7.7% of the total. Over the same period, they generated 3.6 million admissions, corresponding to 18.8% of the total audience for French cinema abroad.

This international press roundup covers the latest news concerning the French animation industry and the release of French productions.
