‘Molang’ Makes a Movie: It’s Not Just Popcorn Popping This September

Everyone don your 3D glasses, because Molang is moving up from the small screen to the silver screen! Everybody’s favorite chubby-cheeked bunny is primed to make their grand entrance into the European cinema scene, with Millimages and Kinepolis playing the proud parents.

Belgian Waffles and Bunny Films – A Perfect Combo!

Belgium isn’t just delivering on delicious waffles and beer; this time it’s serving up a slice of cinematic brilliance with Molang’s first-ever cinema event via Kinepolis. Forget the Cannes; forget the Oscars, this is the event you’ll want to brag about attending.

Now, I suggest we all stock up on the popcorn and get the soda fizzing. The tickets better move like Belgian chocolate through a herd of sweet tooths, because this film’s going to draw a crowd faster than an ice cream truck at a summer carnival!

So, buckle up, animation fans, we’re about to take a ‘hare-raising’ ride into some big-screen bunny business. Roll out the red carpet for our plump little pals, and let the cinema groan under the collective weight of our excitement! This is the Mad Hatter’s party of the year, and everyone’s invited…rabbiting on about 3D glasses optional.

Millimages, a veteran independent animation studio in Europe, in partnership with the prestigious Belgian cinema chain Kinepolis, excitedly unveils the premier of the first cinema film event of Molang. Launching September 1st under the Kinepolis Film Distribution France, Molang Magic Moments will unfold in 40+ cinemas across France, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

Molang Magic Moments is a charming 55-minute film for the entire family, birthed from Molang’s extensive catalogue, boasting six award-winning preschool TV series. This enchanting movie, geared towards preschoolers and their parents, showcases Molang safeguarding its environment, aiding a turtle in distress and tidying up the galaxy.

We are overjoyed to announce this premier! Molang is an exceptional animation masterpiece that has garnered global recognition. It encapsulates all the ingredients to enthrall our audience across Europe: appealing characters, excellent music and narration, and a distinctive visual appeal.

Ahead of the launch, an expansive promotional campaign has been planned, including teaser campaigns and exclusive premieres in Lille, Bruxelles, Madrid, and Utrecht offering unique merchandise for the audience and also leveraging Molang’s colossal social media reach.

MOLANG is an extraordinary sensation in the world of animation. Starting as a basic sketch by Korean illustrator Hye Ji Yoon in 2010, MOLANG has since become a globally known brand. Through the evolution of the Millimages studio and renowned author Marie-Caroline Villand, MOLANG has given birth to six TV series airing in 190 countries; acquired 30 billion GIPHY views; and 8.8 million social media followers. It operates a YouTube channel and has 18 international licensing agents.

MOLANG, also known as The Ambassador of Kindness, owes its tremendous success to its core values of empathy, joy, gentleness and tenderness, all communicated across all platforms. Beyond these, MOLANG has recently been acknowledged for its values at the 2024 France Licensing Day & Licensing International Awards, earning the CSR Initiative of the Year award for the MOLANG SAFE SPACE campaign against cyberbullying, launched in 2023. Other commendations for this animation franchise include Best Exported French TV Series, Best Animated Series, and an International Emmy Kids Award nomination for Best Preschool series.

Among animated compilation movies distributed by Kinepolis Film Distribution France, global hits such as Peppa Pig and The Smurfs are also included.
