GOAT GIRL (26 x11’) is selected for the 2025 Annecy International Animation Film Festival! (TV Films category) with the episode “I Ain’t Afraid of No Goats”, co-written by Shannon George & Kristina Yee, directed by Krystal Georgiou and co-directed by Lauri Saunders and Matthieu Giner.
From September 2026, the short film Luce and the Rock will be included in the prestigious “Ma classe au cinéma” scheme, run by the CNC and the French Ministries of Culture and Education. “Ma classe au cinéma” is an initiative designed to introduce children to cinema through curated screenings in theaters, from a young age.

We are thrilled to announce the star-studded cast for the international version of our new film A LAMB’S STEW (Special / 29’) : Actor Andy Serkis, best known for his iconic roles as Gollum in The Lord of the Rings and Caesar in Planet of the Apes, as well as his performances in The Batman and Black Panther, lends his voice to the character of the Wolf. He joins the cast of this modern tale, which includes T’Nia Miller in the role of Miss Shearlington, and 11-year-old Iris Onyejiuwa in the role of Billie the young lamb.
The two actresses had previously played these characters in the teaser of the film, which was unveiled at Cartoon Forum where the project sparked a lot of enthusiasm.

Thuristar is very happy to share that the production of GOAT GIRL is moving forward. The first season of 26 episodes will be delivered in the Fall 2025!
Created by Shannon George and Kristina Yee the series tells the story of Gigi, a 13-year-old girl who just happens to have been raised by mountain goats. But now that she’s a teenager, her Nanny and Billy think it’s time that she spread her wings (er… horns?), so this year she will attend a boarding school and, for the first time in her life, spend time around actual people.
La Cabane and Thuristar top the 2024 Cartoon Forum attendance charts! Joeri Christiaen, writer and director, and Perrine Gauthier, producer, pitched their new special ‘A LAMB’S STEW’, where Billie, a young lamb, finds herself embarked on an unexpected culinary journey alongside a mysterious wolf.
The teaser was released featuring British actress T’Nia Miller (“Sex Education”, “Years and Years”) in the role of the teacher and 11-year-old Iris Oneyjiuwa, in the lead role of Billie.
La Cabane Productions and Thuristar partner with CAKE Entertainment for the international distribution of Luce in the Lovely Land.

La Cabane and Thuristar completed the carbon footprint calculation of their last production, and the encouraging results are rewarding for the whole team! Mush-Mush season 2 was the first long-form series to be produced using Unreal Engine in Europe, and we hope that providing this calculation will be useful data for the industry.
Carbon footprint: 91tCO2eq (detailed in picture above), calculated using the Carbulator tool developed by AnimFrance.
