Created in 1990, Gallic toon house Antefilms isn't exactly a new kid on the block, but the company has taken off internationally the past couple years thanks to two successive hit series: "Funky Cops" and "Code Lyoko," both of which were ratings winners on Cartoon Network.

Last year Antefilms gobbled up France Animation, the producer and distributor of shows including Euro loon phenom "Titeuf"; earlier this year Antefilms launched Moonscoop, distributor of both company's titles.

Antefilms is now in production on "Funky Cops II" and "Code Lyoko II" as well as "Pet Alien" and "Invisible Man."
