Jason Moring, President of Double Dutch International, has announced a series of deals for ELLIOT: THE LITTLEST REINDEER at AFM'14.

ELLIOT: THE LITTLEST REINDEER is based on a multi-award winning screenplay, having been named best Canadian screenplay in all categories by Praxis and securing the Angel Award in Monaco for Best Children's Screenplay. The animated feature is directed by Paul Griffin. Griffin was the lead animator on HAPPY FEET TWO and STAR WARS: ATTACK OF THE CLONES. He also worked on STAR WARS: THE PHANTOM MENACE and LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING.

The following territories have been sold:

Germany and Benelux - Splendid Film

Eastern Europe - Freeman Distribution, Monolith and Blitz Film

Production begins this January on a $16MM budget.

After Blitzen announces his retirement on December 21st, a miniature horse has three days to fulfill his lifelong dream of earning a spot on Santa's sleigh during the North Pole Try-Outs. ELLIOT: THE LITTLEST REINDEER is an animated underdog story for the ages.

"Double Dutch is pleased to announce these deals happening so quickly during AFM'14," said Moring, "The Awesometown deal has certainly made an impact for us and these deals are evidence of that. We're excited to see what the week brings."

Double Dutch recently signed an output agreement with Awesometown to partner on two to three animated features annually in the $10MM to $15MM budget range.

Double Dutch is at AFM'14 November 5 - 12.
