Korean action comedy animation “Shasha & Milo” is scheduled to make its local and global premiere in the second half of the year.

The animation was sold to Chinese and Latin American distributors during the 2023 Annecy International Animated Film Festival and Market in Annecy, France, the world’s largest event for animation industry, according to the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA).

Domestically, "Shasha & Milo" will be released on public education TV channel EBS. Overseas, Shenzhen-based media company Tencent and Warner Bros.
