Ninja Cats Selected at the Renowned Cartoon Movie Forum in Bordeaux

Press Release

February 28, 2025 - Bordeaux, France

We're thrilled to announce that our in-development animated feature, Ninja Cats, has been selected as a featured project at the prestigious Cartoon Movie Forum, taking place in Bordeaux from March 4-7. As part of our slate of original productions, Ninja Cats is an action-packed adventure set in a vibrant fictional Catworld, where a ragtag team of martial arts-trained felines—led by an unlikely hero and a wise sage—must unite to stop a megalomaniac from plunging their world into chaos.

Developed in collaboration with leading creative talents from across Europe and Hollywood, Ninja Cats blends high-stakes action, humor, and heart with a deeper message about environmental responsibility and the delicate balance of the world. The film’s creator and Animation Director, Csaba Bardos, alongside US-based Executive Producer Mark Nazal, will present the project to key industry figures, including distributors, sales agents, investors, and broadcasters at Cartoon Movie. As one of Europe’s premier animation industry events since 1999, Cartoon Movie Forum provides an unparalleled platform to connect innovative projects with potential partners.
