MUMBAI: Germany-based Studio 100 Media has signed up a deal with Universum Film for the distribution of the upcoming Maya the Bee, Vic the Viking, Heidi and Blinky Bill films in the German-speaking territories.

The first feature-length animation to premiere will be Maya the Bee - Movie, which is co-produced by Studio 100 Media and Buzz Studios. The film will release in September 2014 in German theatres.

 
Studio 100 Film, Studio 100 Media’s newly launched movie division, will handle the global cinematic film sales for all four titles.

Set against the backdrop of a longstanding hatred between bees and hornets, Maya is born into a hive where conformity rules. Her attempts to fit in and “be a bee” immediately bring her into conflict with the narrow-minded Queen’s Royal Advisor. When Maya stumbles onto the Advisor’s plot to steal the Queen’s royal jelly, she is forced to embark on a journey with her best friend Willi.
