“The overwhelming love for the original Finnick inspired us to push the boundaries even further with the sequel. With Finnick 2, we’ve created a film that is not only visually stunning but also emotionally resonant,” says Julia Nikolaeva, General Manager of Animotion Media. “We are particularly happy to be working with Luminescence team and Juraj Barabas, as they bring extensive experience and an excellent portfolio of animated films to the table. Their expertise is a vital step in ensuring this story reaches a global audience, uniting families and fans around the world.”

“We are extremely happy to start this partnership with Julia, and the Animotion team. Since I saw the first Finnick, I immediately believed in its worldwide theatrical potential,” comments Juraj Barabas, Managing Director of Luminescence. “We always try to bring to the international marketplace movies, that are not only visually strong but also tell the story that kids can empathize with. The second part of Finnick definitely meets these requirements. We look forward to plug this exciting brand into our global partnerships, and for the people to see the movie on the big screens worldwide.”
