I Cuccioli vanno al cinema.<br />

Con product placement<br />

Il nuovo film animato del Gruppo Alcuni, studiato e realizzato con grande cura, fa anche<br />

da apripista al product placement nei cartoon italiani. Che sviluppa in un gioco strategico<br />

di rimandi tra il plot della pellicola e le attività di tre partner<br />

Dopo un lavoro durato<br />

oltre tre anni il 22<br />

gennaio debutta nelle<br />

sale il film animato “Cuccioli – Il<br />

codice di Marco Polo”, prodotto da<br />

Gruppo Alcuni ed Edebé in collaborazione<br />

con Rai Cinema. La pellicola<br />

si rivolge a un pubblico di<br />

bambini, ancora in fase di evoluzione,<br />

per cui Sergio e Francesco<br />

Manfio di Gruppo Alcuni hanno<br />

dedicato la massima attenzione a<br />

ogni suo aspetto, dalla costruzione<br />

della storia e dei personaggi alla<br />

composizione della colonna sonora<br />

e al doppiaggio. Il plot, che rispetta<br />

i canoni delle storie per i più piccoli,<br />

The Cuccioli hit the big screen.<br />

With product placement<br />

The very carefully-produced new 3D cartoon film from<br />

the Alcuni Group blazes a trail in product placement for<br />

European cartoons. With a series of strategic links<br />

between the plot of the film and its three partners<br />

On 22nd January 2010 the cartoon film “Pet Pals –<br />

Marco Polo’s Code” produced by the Alcuni Group and<br />

Edebé in partnership with Rai Cinema, makes its screen<br />

debut after more than two years in the making. Director<br />

Sergio and executive producer Francesco Manfio have<br />

taken infinite pains over the story line, characters,<br />

sound track and dubbing in this film for children of<br />

tender years.<br />

The plot sticks to the traditional pattern for youngsters,<br />

with an easy-to-follow story that was checked out with a<br />

panel of junior critics as it evolved. It features the six<br />

well-known “Pet Pals”, who star in the cartoon series<br />

produced by the Alcuni Group and RaiFiction, broadcast<br />

on RaiDue and now in its fourth season. In the film the<br />

duckling Diva, Holly the kitten, Moby the puppy, baby<br />

rabbit Top Hat, the chick and Pio the frog seek the<br />

Marco Polo Code, which will tell them how to find and<br />

get into Venice’s Palazzo Magic. The Palazzo is home to<br />

the magic they need to fight the wicked spells of the<br />

witch Crow Witch, who wants to leave Venice high and<br />

dry by draining its famous lagoon.<br />

Product placement strategy<br />

This is an important film for Italy, thanks to its quality<br />

and to its innovative product placement strategy, an<br />

unusual formula for Italy, especially for cartoons. Right<br />

from the word go the Alcuni Group has worked with<br />

three partners (Cameo, Oviesse and The Veneto<br />

Regional Council), to fit their brands seamlessly into the<br />

plot of the film. And the three partners will all be<br />

supporting the launch of the film with special promotional<br />

events.<br />

So while little Top Hat recruits his strength in the<br />

desert with a Muu Muu dessert (Cameo), Cameo will be<br />

advertising on all the national networks inviting children<br />

to go and see the film. For three weekends from<br />

mid-January 400 supermarkets will have corners dedicated<br />

to the film, with 30 thousand free tickets when<br />

you buy the dessert.
