The response from broadcasters and platforms to both Oggy Oggy and Oggy– Next Gen has been rewarding, and we look forward to sharing these new adventures with families around the world, in addition to ensuring fans can continue to enjoy the beloved original show.” Marc du Pontavice, CEO of Xilam Animation, said: “There’s never been a more exciting time for our flagship brand Oggy and the Cockroaches as we build on the property’s strong legacy with fresh and modern iterations, which extend the world of Oggy and will introduce new audiences to this treasured franchise. Following this approach, the Oggy and the Cockroaches franchise, which initially took 15 years to reach €50M in incomes, has now reached the €100M threshold, with over 60% of the revenue being derived from international sales, in just an additional five years. Xilam’s significant expansion of the Oggy and the Cockroaches franchise reinforces the strength of the property as an asset for the company to ensure sustained revenue growth for the long-term.
These new deals demonstrate Xilam’s capacity to maximise the opportunities offered by the evolving international distribution landscape, particularly by capitalising on its existing flagship brands.
