“It is a privilege to represent a property such as Grizzy & the Lemmings on the international market: the humour of this non-dialogued series is truly universal. Grizzy & the Lemmings is successful absolutely everywhere. It is a new classic that reinvents the genre of golden age cartoons: the sales achieved prove that the market shares this analysis!”
