Quebec City, September 10, 2026 – This week, 10^th Ave Productions and Attraction Distribution will be going to the Toronto International Film Festival’s inaugural market, where they will present the first images of 10^th Ave’s seventh animated feature, The Bravest of All.

This new 100% Canadian-made animated feature once again shines a spotlight on the animal and plant life of the majestic Saint Lawrence River, as did the Quebec production company’s previous hit, Katak the Brave Beluga. The plot of The Bravest of All centres on the seabirds of the Mingan Archipelago. It’s a grand multigenerational adventure story in which three bird colonies must come together when winged raiders attack, seeking to seize Parrot Island and the puffin chicks who live on the island.

“There are some really loveable characters in The Bravest of All, including Papidou, the grandpa who’s in the early stages of dementia; Pearl, who’s trying to extricate herself from the consequences of a lie; and Froggy, a deliciously comical character who makes every possible effort to talk some sense into Coldheart, the leader of the gulls,” notes 10^th Ave’s producer, Nancy Florence Savard.

Based on an original idea by Andrée Lambert (Katak the Brave Beluga), with a screenplay by Emilie Rosas (Lydia and the Mist Rider), The Bravest of All is currently in production under the guidance of directors Emilie Rosas and Philippe Arseneau Bussières, while producers Nancy Florence Savard and Ginette Poulin handle executive producer duties.

For the first time, the entire production is being undertaken by the Quebec City-based studio 10^th Ave Animation, under the leadership of producer Jean-François Tremblay. 10^th Ave Animation is the studio that was primarily responsible for animating the feature films Felix and the Treasure of Morgäa and Lydia and the Mist Rider.

Animation work on The Bravest of All should be finished during spring 2027, giving way to post-production over the summer. This stage of the process will bring together music composer Jean-François Racine, who also wrote the music for Lydia and the Mist Rider; editor René Caron of Studio Élément; and sound designer Jérôme Boiteau of Studio Expression.

The Bravest of All will be distributed in Canada by Maison 4:3, which will oversee the film’s release for domestic audiences, while Attraction Distribution will be handling representation on international markets. This collaboration, undertaken in concert with 10^th Ave Studio, will make it possible for the feature film to maximize success among foreign distributors, platforms and partners.
