Animotion Media Group debuts animated series ‘Shooting Stars' at Annecy
With 26 x 11' episodes planned, the series has global reach and transmedia potential. Animotion Media Group debuted its newest animated series, Shooting Stars, at the Annecy Animation Festival (MIFA). The UAE-based studio, known for its focus on family-friendly content, promises an explosive mix of action, comedy, and empowerment with this girl-centered series that aims to resonate with girls aged 8 to 12. Shooting Stars follows the lives of five spirited high school girls — Netty, Cath, Eva, Mia and Naomi — who bond over their shared love for football. While they dominate on the field, their everyday teenage struggles remain real and relatable. Their world takes an extraordinary turn when a meteor crash lands on their football field, granting them mysterious superpowers. What begins as regular team practice quickly morphs into high-stakes battles against strange monsters, as the girls juggle their new dual lives as both athletes and unlikely superheroes. The series dives deep into themes of identity, self-confidence, and resilience, showing the challenges and triumphs of growing up in a world that often underestimates girls. With humor, heart, and high-octane adventure, the show explores how each girl's unique power reflects her personality — from Eva's unbreakable strength to Cath's lightning-quick instincts, and Netty's razor-sharp intellect. These differences become their greatest strength as they learn that real power lies in diversity and unity. Julia Nikolaeva, General Manager at Animotion and the producer behind the project, said: 'Shooting Stars is about more than superpowers and soccer goals — it's about strength, resilience, and identity. We wanted to make a show that feels real for today's Gen Alpha — a world where girls can be everything: athletes, dreamers, leaders, heroes. With Shooting Stars, we're holding a mirror up to girls and saying: 'You can be powerful just as you are.' With 26 episodes of 11 minutes each, Shooting Stars is designed with international audiences in mind. Packed with humor, fast-paced storytelling, dazzling transformations, and powerful match sequences, the series stands as a fresh take on inclusive entertainment. It also boasts strong transmedia potential, ensuring its reach goes far beyond the small screen. Following in the footsteps of Animotion's globally successful titles like The Fixies, Tina & Tony, BabyRiki, and Finnick, this latest venture is poised to break boundaries — both in storytelling and in representation. Shooting Stars is not just about scoring goals; it's about defying expectations, breaking stereotypes, and creating a new playbook for what girls in animation can be.
