Dingo Pictures news: after the kickstarter

After the successful crowdfunding for the documentary about German studio Dingo Pictures, which collected 9.818 euros, DJ Kaito released a video on his YouTube channel to explain the direction the documentary project will take and the future of the studio under the new management.

At the moment of recording the video there was not a defined date for filming, due to the current health situation in Germany and the physical distance between the documentary organizers. Then, on September 16 Dingo Pictures' official twitter account announced  that filming will begin in the first week of October. Meanwhile, the activities of the new Dingo Pictures are constantly in progress.

First of all, several interview deals were made! Among the confirmed content creators interviewed we have: Phelan Porteous, Caddicarus and Matt Presents for the English side of YouTube and Malternativ for the German side; musician Bernt Möhrle who worked for Dingo; M. Beausejour from the Dingo Pictures Wiki. Furthermore, the team managed to obtain footage of an interview with one of the founders, Ludwig Ickert, recorded by other documentary filmmakers before his death in 2019.

Once completed, the documentary is intended to be distributed on DVD and BluRay thanks to a current collaboration with a team expert in film restoration to remaster the Dingo productions in high quality and organize the distribution, but it’s not a certain thing yet and negotiations are still in progress. On the other hand, Jimmy Beeblebrox has contacts with television channel Cartoon Network (German branch) for a possible television release of the documentary! We await more news about this possibility, as it is not yet confirmed.

Moreover, in the merchandise field, deals are being arranged with a company to produce apparel and gadgets, even though we await more info for the confirmation. What is certain is that DJ Kaito’s label, Vier Sterne Deluxe Records, is preparing the release of songs from the movies and the films themselves in the form of radio plays. You can currently buy CDs of the Wabuu theme and preorder the radio plays. The first one, Sing mit Aladin, is already available on iTunes and Amazon. Up to this day the release plan is one radio play each month.

At the end, DJ Kaito invites the viewers to leave their questions in the comments, here you can watch the video:

It’s incredible how the passion of a group of fans could give new life to an animation studio after all this time. Here we’re restoring the past and creating the future!
