TrustNordisk has closed North American deals for its two animated features, “Just Super” and “Little Allan — The Human Antenna.”

Both feature have sold to Viva Pictures Distribution for North American distribution. “Just Super” has also sold to Pack Magic for Spain.

“Just Super” is directed by Rasmus A. Sivertsen, who previously directed Berlinale-screener “Louis & Luca — Mission to the Moon” as well as Shanghai Festival player “In the Forest of Huckybucky.” The feature comes from Scandinavia’s biggest animation studio Qvisten Animation and was produced by Åshild Ramborg (“The Ash Land”) and Stian Tveiten (“Congo”). Carter Goodrich (“Coco”) did the initial character design for “Just Super.”

The feature revolves around an 11-year-old gaming enthusiast, Hedvig, who finds her life turned upside down when she is forced to replace her father as the town’s superhero much earlier than expected. The film was penned by Kamilla Krogsveen. TrustNordisk will host a market screening for the feature at the AFM Nov. 3.

Here is the trailer:

“Just Super” was previously acquired for France (KMBO), Benelux (In the Air), the Baltics (Estin Film), Hungary (ADS Service), Poland (Vivarto), former Yugoslavia (MCF Megacom), Turkey (Siyah Beyaz Film), the Middle East (Oceana Studios) and Latin America (Cine Video y TV).
