Toonz Media Group will launch its new animated feature MINIBOTS at the American Film Market (AFM). Produced alongside Evolutionary Films and Mojo Global Arts, MINIBOTS combines “thrilling high-tech adventure with humor and heart”. Directed by Tony Bancroft (Mulan) and written by Michael Ferris (Terminator 3: Rise of Machines), the film follows three young geniuses at a summer Robotics camp. Their creation of sentient mini robots leads to chaos and heartwarming moments as they race against time to protect their playful but troublemaking Minibots from a powerful tech company determined to take control of these remarkable inventions.

They’ll drive you crazy… make you laugh… make you cry… they never slow down. But at the end of the day, they will steal your heart.
AFM buyers will get their first taste of MINIBOTS through the teaser trailer, offering a sneak peek into the film’s “breathtaking animation, high-energy sequences, and lovable characters”.
Partnering with Evolutionary Films and Mojo Global Arts has been a fantastic experience. We’re confident MINIBOTS will be a standout in the global family entertainment market. It’s a lively, fun adventure, and we’re eager for audiences to experience it firsthand.
-P. Jayakumar (CEO, Toonz Media Group)
Minibots is a story that connects with the entire family. On the surface it is about clever kids who code robots, but the real message is one of collaboration, self-expression and discovery. The film is an action-packed adventure in a unique, high-tech world but it retains a universal relatability that will give it global appeal. We’re so excited to be working with Toonz and Mojo to bring these mischievous Minibots to life.
-John Adams (Evolutionary Films)
The creative force of director Tony Bancroft and writer Michael Ferris, alongside the experience of Toonz and Evolutionary has made MINIBOTS flourish with originality and creativity. The teens in the movie are relevant today, navigating new friendships while balancing technology and coming into their own. As a parent I know my kids will love this film but, just as important, I love it as well.
-Sharon Wisnia (Mojo Global Arts)
With a 2026 release date on the horizon, MINIBOTS is now available for presales at AFM 2024.
