Since its debut in 2018, the Little Unicorn book series<\/strong> has become a phenomenal success and has continued to capture the hearts of readers in France and across the world. With 55 titles published and over 1.7 million copies sold in France alone, the phenomenon has spread worldwide, with translations now available in 28 languages. Now, with Hold on Gaston!<\/strong>, this beloved universe is set to enchant children on screen just as it has in books.<\/p>\n

Welcome to Univille-on-Joy! In this peaceful village surrounded by green hills life is really nice. There lives Gaston (and his friends), a young unicorn like many others… well, almost.\u00a0 Gaston is unique:\u00a0 his rainbow mane changes colors according to his emotions… ooops!<\/em><\/p>\n

Emmanu\u00e8le P\u00e9try and Jean-Baptiste Wery, Producers and Founders of Dandelooo said:<\/strong>\u00a0“Hold on Gaston!<\/em>\u00a0is a fantastic opportunity to tell fun, colorful stories for children aged 4 to 7 while addressing a core theme: emotions and how to manage them. Because for Gaston, life is a big wheel of emotions that he turns with appetite and playfulness. It\u2019s his intensity that will drive the stories and captivate viewers. Beyond the narratives, the charm of\u00a0Hold on Gaston!<\/em>\u00a0comes from the imaginative world created by Aur\u00e9lie Chien Chow Chine. Alongside Chlo\u00e9 Sastre and Romain Gadiou, she successfully revitalized the unicorn thematic by designing a world filled with hills. \u00a0They presented us with a world of lush green hills where Gaston, with his round little belly, colorful mane, and horn pointing towards the unknown, is ready to take us on a wild ride… and we absolutely love it! That’s what immediately won us over and will surely delight Gaston’s fans.”<\/p>\n

Yann Labasque, Head of TF1 Group\u2019s Youth Programming added:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cThe book series \u2018Little Unicorn\u2019 has always been among one of our favorites. We were particularly captivated by the colorful and whimsical world, created by author Aur\u00e9lie Chien Chow Chine, and above all, the boundless energy of Gaston the main character. Gaston experiences his emotions deeply, whether he\u2019s happy, sad or angry, which makes him incredibly endearing and authentic.<\/p>\n

His adventures are entertaining and offer valuable life lessons. Thanks to his expressiveness and sincerity, Gaston creates a connection and speaks to all children. He reminds us how important it is to live each moment to the fullest. Whether these moments are happy or challenging, his vivid emotions and unique way of interacting with those around him resonate with each young reader and soon with young viewers on TFOU.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aur\u00e9lie Chien Chow Chine, Author and Illustrator of the\u00a0Little Unicorn<\/em>\u00a0book series commented:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cSeeing Gaston come to life as an animated character is a dream come true, especially for me, coming from the animation world. I\u2019m thrilled that we will be able to watch him live out his emotions in brand-new adventures. An animated series is a beautiful extension of the children\u2019s books, offering a new encounter with our beloved characters through voices, expressions, and gestures. I\u2019m delighted that TF1 is accompanying us on this new journey. Their youth programming team and I found a wonderful synergy for telling stories filled with laughter, fear, joy, and even the occasional tear\u2014in short, emotions… so, Go Gaston!”<\/p>\n

Sarah Koegler-Jacquet, Managing director of Hachette Enfants added:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cWhen
\nAur\u00e9lie Chien Chow Chine introduced us to Gaston\u2019s emotional adventures, we were immediately captivated by this universal, timeless, generous, sincere, and incredibly endearing character! This enthusiasm was shared by children and parents alike from the publication of the very first books in France and internationally. Seeing their beloved hero embark on new animated adventures will undoubtedly delight both young and old alike and ensure his place as a timeless and much-loved character.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
