Dandeloo,
the renowned French animation production and distribution company, had
finalised an exclusive deal with Tournez S’il Vous Plaît (TSVP), acquiring
global distribution rights to the educational series. Developed by Christie and

delves into the subjects of sexuality, emotions, and body development for

partnership aligns well with the objectives for France televisions and Lumni,
its educational platform as both expresses an urgent need for educational

and Bees is written and directed by Pauline Brunner, Maxime
Gridelet, and Marion Verlé and produced with the artistic insight by Virginie
Boda which employs a distinct approach to bring out their message. The series
gently navigates the sensitive terrain of sexuality with emotions and humour.
The creators acknowledge the challenges the kids face in discussing such topics
with them and aim to prepare the young viewers to decipher the inevitable
misconceptions that they may face in life.
The
narrative is helmed by Lili, a dynamic export in sexual and emotional education
as it brings viewers to a poetic and quirky stop-motion world. The cast is
encompassed of characters such as Noé, Hannah, Adama, and others, reflecting
different social and cultural backgrounds, enhancing the series' relatability
