Pink Parrot Media, based in Montreal and Madrid, has signed on to produce the CG animated feature ‘Tistou,’ an adaptation of the classic French children’s novel ‘Tistou les Pouces Verts’ by Maurice Druon. The film, currently in development and scheduled for release in 2028, follows the story of an 8-year-old boy with a magical talent.

Produced by France’s Finalement in collaboration with Belgium’s Walking The Dog, ‘Tistou’ was first introduced at the Annecy International Film Festival, where it received the prestigious Mifa Pitch Award. Pink Parrot Media will manage worldwide distribution rights, excluding France and Benelux. The movie is aimed at family audiences and children aged 6-12.

In the story, Tistou, the son of a factory owner, struggles with maturity and possesses a vivid imagination. After a disastrous start at school, he discovers a unique ability with the help of a wise gardener: wherever he touches, plants and flowers bloom. However, as his gift gains attention, dark secrets involving his father’s factory come to light, leading Tistou into a troubling revelation.
