Participants on site meet in the restaurant for breakfast ("Croissant Show") and after lunch ("Coffee Show") to watch in a row on a giant screen the trailers of the projects to be presented that morning or afternoon.
Projects’ trailers will also be displayed in CARTOON's mobile app.

Content

A few reminders
- The quality of your trailer is very important
- it is useful to stand out from the other projects
- it will help to attract a maximum of participants to your presentation
TIP: don't try to show too much of the story, sometimes one simple gag is more efficient than too many images.
- It is essential to meet the deadline: trailers not provided to CARTOON by 14 August 2026 will not be presented during the Croissant & Coffee Shows, and these projects will inevitably be disadvantaged.
IMPORTANT: Please edit the end of your trailer with a clean sound and image cut / fade out.
Important - Sharing authorisation
In your checklist, you will be asked to fill in a form to give or not your authorisation to CARTOON to share your trailer for external purposes. If you give your agreement, your trailer will be available in compilation for the press, on our website, and on our mobile application.
For any question regarding your trailer you can contact Samuel Quentin samuel.quentin@cartoon-media.eu.
