EXCLUSIVE: Sola Media has sealed a raft of deals at on Twisted, U.S. animator Lino DiSalvo’s upcoming animated feature for Mediawan Kids & Family.

The film has sold to the Baltics (ACME), CIS (MJM Group), Ex-Yugoslavia (MCF), Greece (Tanweer), Israel (Red Cape), Latin America (Imagem), Middle East (Selim Ramia), Mongolia (The Filmbridge), Poland (Kino Swiat), Portugal (Cinemundo), Spain (Flins y Pinículas), Turkey (Bir Film) and Ukraine (Green Light).

Directed by Frozen Head of Animation DiSalvo, the animation is billed as one of the biggest animated features currently in production in France.

Delivery is slated for Q1 2027. French distributor Le Pacte is on board, alongside France 3 Cinéma and Paramount+ France.

Set in a picturesque alpine village in Italy, Twisted follows Angelina, a teenager who inadvertently disrupts her town’s beloved festival and unleashes a wave of mischievous magical creatures—each one born from a lie she tells to cover her tracks.

 To make things right, she embarks on a cross-country journey with the Badalisc, a reluctant, truth-telling folklore creature, in a heartfelt road-trip adventure about identity, community, and self-acceptance.

Further deals are currently in negotiation, with additional territory announcements expected in the coming weeks.

“The response to Twisted has been truly enthusiastic,” said Solveig Langeland, Managing Director at Stuttgart and Munich-based Sola Media.

“Buyers are drawn not only to the breathtaking Italian setting, but also to the film’s timely and universal theme of truth versus lies and its consequences, all wrapped in a fun, heartfelt adventure. We’re thrilled with the strong sales and excited by the global appeal the film is generating.”

Mediawan Kids & Family is out in force in Cannes this year as one of the producers on Sylvain Chomet’s Marcel Pagnol biopic A Magnificent Life, with past high-profile credits including Miraculous – The Movie and The Little Prince.

Stuttgart and Munich-based Sola Media’s Cannes Market slate also features The Pout-Pout Fish and Tafiti – Across the Desert, both set to screen in Cannes. The company also represents Captain Sabertooth and the Countess of Grel, which premieres in Annecy this June.
