COLOGNE, Germany -- TV-Loonland, the German kids' animation and merchandising group, said Tuesday it has launched a theatrical label -- Loonland Pictures -- to market in-house and third-party feature films for the German-speaking market. The new division will debut with the Dec. 22 launch of Loonland's Heidi remake, which 20th Century Fox and NFP marketing are handling in Germany. Though TV-Loonland's core business is television animation, the company scored a minor hit with its 1999 animated feature Petterson and Findus, which took in more than $6 million in Germany. Loonland also controls U.K. indie theatrical and video distributor Metronome.
