‘Goat Girl’ Picked Up in U.K. & Canada on Its Way to Annecy

MIAM! distribution is celebrating the selection of Goat Girl for the 2025 edition of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in the TV series category, as part of the official competition. This coming-of-age comedy is co-produced by Daily Madness, MIAM! animation and Thuristar.

In addition to this festival news, MIAM! distribution has secured key international sales for Goat Girl, with ITV (U.K.) and WildBrain Television (Canada) joining the growing list of broadcasters, which already includes WarnerMedia EMEA, KIKA, VRT-Ketnet, RTE, YLE, DR and RUV. The series is set to premiere in February 2026.

Goat Girl is a 2D-animated, 26 x 11’ series following the wacky journey of Gigi, a teenager raised by goats in the mountains, as she faces the biggest challenge of her life — attending school for the first time! The show is a quirky comedy about a hero who tackles every challenge with a goat-like stubbornness and strength.

“We instantly fell in love with Goat Girl’s offbeat humor and heartwarming message. Gigi’s journey is something every child can relate to — finding where you belong without losing yourself. It’s a fantastic addition to our lineup” says Darren Nartey, Senior Acquisitions Manager at ITV.

Veronica Manzerolle, Director Programming and Acquisitions at WildBrain Television, “WildBrain Television is proud to bring Goat Girl to audiences who crave smart, character-driven comedy. The show’s mix of physical comedy, sharp wit, and an inspiring message of self-acceptance makes it a perfect fit for Family Channel.”

MIAM! distribution is dedicated to bringing impactful, socially relevant stories to screens, and Goat Girl‘s themes of self-acceptance and community aligns with their mission. The production also showcases the talents of female creative leadership, with three women producers, two women directors and two women showrunners.

“Gigi is the kind of heroine we rarely see in kids’ and tweens’ comedy today: bold, unapologetic, effortlessly funny, and completely herself.” said Hanna Mouchez, CEO & Executive Producer at MIAM! animation. “She doesn’t change or shrink to fit others’ expectations — she owns her quirks proving both girls and boys that real strength comes from being true to yourself … horns, hooves, and all. That’s why Goat Girl matters, and we can’t wait to have her on screen.”
