Planeta Junior, a leading European company in children’s and family entertainment, has signed a licensing agreement with Aguas Danone, S.A. that will launch two water bottle collections based on the internationally famous little blue characters

One has a back-to-school theme while the other is designed for summer holidays. IMPS, owners of popular The Smurfs license, worked on the design of both collections.

Both Font Vella collections include two different The Smurfs products with unique designs for fans of the series to collect: 3 fun 33 cl bottles in the shape of the most famous characters, and up to 12 different designs for 6 packs of 33 cl bottles. These bottles are available to buy now.

According to Rodrigo Liébana, Head of Marketing at Danone Waters, “We are very happy that Planet Junior trusts us to carry the image of The Smurfs on our Font Vella Kids bottles. These The Smurfs collections are an example of our commitment to associating drinking water with fun through the favorite characters of the little ones, and not so little ones”.

“Its been a real pleasure working on this collaboration between two iconic brands like The Smurfs and Danone – Font Vella, which share the same values including: environmental protection and bringing happiness. The customized artworks based on back-to-school and holiday themes will delight modern parents who grew up with The Smurfs, and their children. It’s Smurftastic!”, said Gregory Pierron, Category Manager Publishing & Promotions at Planeta Junior.
