What happens

City of Friends (Norwegian: Vennebyen) is a Norwegian animated children's television series created by Carl Christian Hamre of CreaCon Entertainment. The TV show itself presents stories for young children about policemen, fire service personnel and medical service personnel. The series first aired in Norway on TV 2 in 2010, simultaneously with TV 2 Denmark, TV4 Sweden and MTV3 Finland. During its production phase, Parthenon Entertainment (later renamed Sky Vision) distributed the series outside of Scandinavia. In 2015, the IP's founders decided to sell it to TA Tolv. Hamre, the series creator, left CreaCon on 31 March of that year. The new shareholders planned the creation of a feature film, set to be released in the first half of 2017. The plan for a feature film was revived in early 2026 by Bergen locals, who aimed to find Scandinavian partners for funding. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
