Teaser: Plucky Pup embarks on an animated adventure in "Titina"

It's an unusual encounter of mammals in the just-released teaser of Titin, an upcoming Norwegian-Belgian animated film loosely based on the true story of "the world's first four-legged celebrity". In place, he debuted through Screendays during the Cannes film market, the titular terrier encounters a mighty whale from the bow of an airship bound for the Arctic.

Marking the directorial debut of the groundbreaking animated short film Kajsa Næss (Your turn, Dismantling workers), the film is inspired by the true story of a fox terrier named Titina who became the most famous dog of the 20s when he joined his master, the Italian aeronautical engineer Umberto Nobile, and the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen in a expedition to the North Pole. Titin reimagines this journey into a decidedly dog-hostile environment through the puppy's point of view.

The € 8,5m film is produced by Oslo-based Mikrofilm (Me and my Moulton) and co-produced by Vivi Film (The Belleville Triplets, The Secret of Kells) with the support of the Norwegian Film Institute, Eurimages and Screen Brussels. Les Films du Losange in Paris is handling global sales.
