Sola Media has boarded as the sales agent for animated feature “Felix the Brave,” and will be unveiling an exclusive teaser at the Cannes Film Market.

The film, which follows the adventures of a flea, is produced by Little Dream Entertainment and Amour Fou together with animation studio Red Parrot Studios. It is directed by Ali Samadi Ahadi, known for his animated adventure “Moonbound.”

Delivery of the film is scheduled for the third quarter of 2027, followed by the theatrical release in Germany by Little Dream Pictures.

The film tells the story of Felix, a flea raised by a family of rhinoceros beetles who believes he is one of them. When a feared stag beetle army threatens his village, Felix embarks on a dangerous journey to find the mythical Beetle Queen, who is said to bring peace.

Alongside Missy, a sharp-tongued dung beetle, and Toni, a quirky bombardier beetle veteran, Felix faces challenges that force him to question his identity, loyalty and courage. As the trio quarrels, bonds and ventures through the wild unknown, Felix discovers that true bravery may change not only his own destiny, but also the future of his home.

The production brings together an experienced creative team, led by animation director Timo Berg, whose credits include “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” “Despicable Me 3,” “The Grinch,” “Sing” and “Pets,” and character designer Peter Oedekoven, known for his work on “Stitch Head,” “Chickenhare and the Secret of the Groundhog,” “Grand Prix of Europe” and “The Amazing Maurice.”

“The film invites children and families into a richly imagined miniature world of beetles, fleas and wild forest creatures – in the tradition of the beloved animated classic ‘A Bug’s Life,’” said Solveig Langeland, managing director of Sola.

“For us, ‘Felix the Brave’ is a real passion project. While making it, our team was falling in love with each of our adorable characters, giving us great hope that our valued audiences, children and their families all around the world will feel the same,” said Samadi Ahadi and Frank Geiger from Little Dream Entertainment.
