Xilam Animation: Licensing for a New Generation
Xilam Animation’s Brand Manager, Chloé Menier shares her ideas:
Xilam’s diverse catalog invites fans to dive deeper than the screen, allowing them to connect with beloved characters through games, apparel and more. Our growth stems from the strength and appeal of our brands, which span a wide demographic. As the brand continues to grow, we eagerly anticipate fruitful collaborations and partnerships at France Licensing Day.
Among its plans, Xilam is celebrating 15 successful years of the hit non-dialogue slapstick comedy series Zig & Sharko. A host of exciting ventures, including a line of plushies, a marble board game and sustainable clothing line, are all in the pipeline.
For the comedy series Space Goofs, Xilam is captivating young adults with a wave of new endeavors including gaming accessories, clothes, and more. Collaborations with innovative French artist Supraw and Uniqlo France led to impressive sell-outs at pop-ups.
Xilam is also strengthening its partnership with French fashion retailer celio, with a new Space Goof inspired collection on the horizon. Plus, Trade Invaders will expand the Xilam universe with new gaming accesories. By 2027, fans will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of Space Goofs.
In an eco-friendly move, Xilam has signed Topla to release a card game based on the kids comedy series Buddybot. Moreover, Xilam is actively developing a merchandising program for the latest preschool comedy series Piggy Builders—with a line-up of toys, stationery and more, set to hit stores this year.
