Ahead of the Asia TV Forum & Market (ATF), taking place December 5-8 in Singapore, Dutch sales agent Incredible Film has announced the second installment in its animated Tummy Tom movie collection: A New Friend for Tummy Tom. The first image from the 2D family adventure was released with the announcement.
Based on the bestselling children’s books, the series of movies is being produced by Amsterdam-based studios Phanta Animation (Miss Moxy) and BosBros (Princess Arabella). The starring character is a funny, inquisitive, adventurous and a slightly mischievous ginger tomcat. Together with his animal friends, he explores the world around him, just like a preschooler would.
A New Friend For Tummy Tom follows Tummy Tom and Cat Mouse on a beautiful snowy winter’s day, when a new dog on the block turns the lives of Tummy Tom and Cat Mouse upside down.
Tummy Tom (or Dikkie Dik) first appeared on the localized version of Sesame Street in The Netherlands in 1978, and Dutch publisher Gottmer started publishing the books by Jet Boeke’s in 1983. Since then, millions of Tummy Tom books have been sold around the world. In 2018, the popular kitty celebrated his 40th birthday.
