The 36th edition of Cartoon Forum concluded today, recognizing companies that have significantly impacted Europe’s animation industry. This year’s awards celebrated winners from Belgium, Denmark, and France.

Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) was awarded Broadcaster of the Year. As Denmark’s oldest and largest media organization, DR has increased its support for Nordic animation in recent years, particularly through its Friday prime-time program FredagsTamTam and the streaming service DR TV.

Mediatoon Distribution, based in Paris, received the Investor/Distributor of the Year award. With a catalog of over 10,000 half-hours of animation, the company has established itself as a key player in managing kids and family intellectual properties across Europe. Its offerings include popular series like Cedric and SamSam, as well as newer titles showcased at Cartoon Forum.

The Producer of the Year award went to Creative Conspiracy (CC), located in Ghent. Known for its commercials, shorts, and feature films, the studio has gained a strong international reputation. Its series Ray Ruby received recognition through the EBU Co-Development Initiative in 2023, and this year, it presented Terry and Olivia at Cartoon Forum while co-producing This Moose Belongs to Me.

In addition to the winners, finalists from Germany, Poland, Spain, and the U.K. also competed for recognition, highlighting the event’s pan-European scope. Cartoon Forum 2025 featured 75 animated series from 20 countries, totaling nearly 400 hours of content with a combined budget of €339.5 million ($400 million). Since its inception in 1990, the event has assisted over 1,000 projects in securing €3.69 billion ($4.3 billion) in financing, solidifying its role as a cornerstone of the European co-production and distribution industries.
