Paris-based independent animation house Millimages is an established name in the world of children's animation, known for popular animated series such as the multi-nominated "Molang" and the preschool series "Mouk". Their latest series, "Bin Buddies", has been announced as part of the official selection at this month's upcoming Cartoon Forum, taking place in Toulouse from 16 to 19 September.

The series will not only be shown at Cartoon Forum, but also at Mipcom in Cannes next month.

The series looks to capture the spirit of the label's previous successes by focusing on ordinary, everyday life (but with a dash of more color). "Bin Buddies" is billed as "the first CG-animated series for preschoolers to feature garbage men" – a rather refreshing change of pace for children's shows centered around fantastical depictions of blue-collar labor.
