“For two decades, ‘Oggy and the Cockroaches’ has been entertaining audiences all around the world with its fantastic characters, slapstick humor and surprise-filled storylines,” says Marc du Pontavice, founder and president, Xilam Animation. “After an unprecedented 20 years of nonstop content production in France, ‘Oggy’ is now one of just a handful of French animation properties to reach its milestone 20th anniversary, and even after all this time, ‘Oggy’ has never been so popular and commercially successful.
