Africa Open For Business: Pictoons: Animated In Senegal 6min 48secs

Produced by Carol Pineau

Price: Free

Pictoon's studio in Dakar is quite rustic, but the production quality coming out of Africa's only animation house devoted to long-format films is world-class. Founder and Artistic Director, Pierre Sauvalle, says when he shows Pictoon's work to foreigners, they often don't believe it comes from Africa, assuming goods produced in Africa must be inferior. Pictoon's aim is to produce to international standards.
