\n\tSales agency The Playmaker Munich<\/a> has closed distribution deals for the animated movie \u201cThe Unicorn That Said No\u201d in several territories, ahead of its market premiere at the American Film Market in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe movie centers on a \u201csweet, grumpy unicorn\u201d who can no longer bear the pink, idyllic world of his unicorn family and sets off for Nowhere. He unexpectedly finds new friends and together they must rescue the king\u2019s daughter from her tower in order to return home with his new gang.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe movie is directed by Kling, Johannes Weiland (\u201cThe Gruffalo\u2019s Child\u201d) and Studio Soi, with a screenplay by Kling and Marcus Sauermann.<\/p>\n

Film Productions Germany. Producers are Uwe Schott, Nicole Kellerhals and Carsten Bunte. Co-producers are Steffen Schier, Margret Mackuth and Julia Hayungs. Music is by Felix Raffel, and the main song is by Dota Kehr.<\/p>\n

\n\tSylvia Edelmann, head of sales at The Playmaker, said, \u201cIt\u2019s wonderful to see so many territories on board before the film has even screened.
