The film has already secured distribution in 40 countries.

This new take on the Aesop and La Fontaine tale follows a guitar-playing cricket and the heiress of an anthill, where music is forbidden due to the discipline of hard work.

Cricket & Antoinette took 13 years to be made by a team consisting of over 150 professionals from all over the world, supervised by production designer Jadranka Soviček Krpan, concept artists and character designers Manuel Šumberac and Darko Bakliža, and animation supervisor Siniša Mataić.

The voice cast includes famous Croatian actors such as Tara Thaller, Marko Petrić, and Filip Vidović.

The Croatian Television (HRT) will be the first television to broadcast Cricket & Antoinette.
