Polydont Films Pitches Mazukta and Shambabukli Expansion at MIA Market

Polydont Films outlined plans to expand its upcoming animated comedy series Mazukta & Shambabukli into gaming, digital content, publishing, and audience-driven community experiences following a pitch session at Animation Next: Italy, Animation Magazine reported. The presentation took place during the MIA Market event, showcasing the studio’s strategy to grow the 2D property beyond traditional television screens.

Production Timeline and Series Specifications for Mazukta and Shambabukli

The animated series consists of 26 episodes and is currently in active production, with a scheduled delivery window in 2027, according to Animation Magazine. Designed for an international teen audience, the comedy centers on characters who approach creation in very different ways, resulting in creative disagreements, experiments, and comic encounters.

Studio Strategy for Teen Audiences and Creator Communities

Polydont Films aims to engage teenagers as active creators rather than passive viewers, drawing comparisons to user-generated sandbox platforms like Minecraft. Elena Lyalina, CEO of Polydont Films, stated that contemporary teenagers view world-building and sharing as core components of self-expression. We see teenagers not just as an audience to entertain, but as a community of creators, Lyalina said, as reported by Animation Magazine. The show is the starting point. Creativity is what brings people together.

Polydont Films Expands Its Studio Production Slate

Mazukta & Shambabukli forms part of Polydont Films’ wider strategic expansion beyond preschool audiences. The studio’s production slate also features the vertical micro-format project Roman Pigeons. In addition to its series work, Polydont’s production credits include the short animated film The Three Sisters, which was nominated for an Academy Award.
