France’s TF1 Studio movie label has picked up three upcoming feature titles from Studio 100 Films: Maya the Bee – The Honey Games, due for completion in December and set to arrive in theaters in 2018; Maya the Bee 3 (working title), slated for 2020; and Princess Emmy, set for May 2018.
Studio 100 will be presenting these titles at the American Film Market this week, stationed at Loews Office #653, and will present a screening of The Honey Games Nov. 2 at 9:30 a.m. at Broadway Cineplex 4. The latest Maya movie has been sold to 127 countries so far.
Produced by Studio 100 Media in co-production with Studio B Animation (Australia) and in association with Flying Bark Productions, Maya the Bee – The Honey Games is another heartwarming bug-sized adventure.
When an overenthusiastic Maya accidentally embarrasses the Empress of Buzztropolis, she is forced to unite with a team of misfit bugs and compete in the Honey Games for a chance to save her hive. She will venture beyond the hive and meet new friends and opponents who will offer a great challenge for Maya. Fortunately, her best friend Willy, the loveable but clumsy ants Arnie and Barney and her trustworthy advisor, Flip the grasshopper, will be by her side. Maya’s curiosity and charisma will engage and delight audiences as she has done so for many years.
The first Maya the Bee movie hit theaters in 2014 and continues to win over audiences worldwide, bringing the popular children’s book character to new life a century after her on-page debut.
The 2D-animated Princess Emmy centers on a young girl of royal birth who inherits a magical ability to talk to horses from her courageous great-great-great grandmother, and sets out to prove herself deserving of this marvelous gift.
