Canadian animation studio Milo Productions Inc. has unveiled a new distribution partnership with Italia Film, a prominent independent film distributor in the Middle East and North Africa. This collaboration aims to bring their upcoming animated feature, Time Hoppers: The Silk Road, to theaters throughout the MENA region, enhancing its reach and presence in key markets.

Time Hoppers: The Silk Road is a captivating 3D animated adventure designed for children and families, offering an educational journey through history. The narrative follows four children as they travel back in time to uncover the scientific advancements that have shaped our modern world, all through the fascinating lens of the Silk Road. Along their journey, they meet iconic figures such as Ibn Al-Haytham, the optics pioneer; Al-Khawarizmi, the father of algorithms; Maryam Astrolabi, a groundbreaking woman in astronomical instrumentation; and Mansa Musa, the legendary West African emperor renowned for his vast wealth and patronage of science and culture.

Italia Film, which holds exclusive distribution rights for major Hollywood studios including Disney, Marvel, LucasFilm, and 20th Century Studios in the region, will oversee the theatrical rollout of Time Hoppers across MENA. With its extensive expertise in the family entertainment sector, Italia Film is poised to ensure a warm reception for the film upon its debut in October 2025.

Michael Milo, CEO of Milo Productions Inc., expressed his enthusiasm: “We are thrilled that our team has successfully brought a children’s feature to screens worldwide. This achievement highlights the diversity of voices in Canada and their remarkable capabilities.”

Flordeliza Dayrit, Chief Creative Officer and the film’s writer and director, added: “Our aim was to create a time travel action-adventure that is not only entertaining but also conveys a positive message, illustrating how all civilizations have contributed to the advancement of modern science.”

The production was made possible with support from various Canadian funding bodies, including the Shaw Rocket Fund, Canada Media Fund, Creative Export Canada, and the Alberta Media Fund.

Nasser Modad, General Manager of Italia Film, stated: “By partnering with a trusted leader like Italia Film, Milo Productions aims to ensure that Time Hoppers reaches as many families in the MENA region as possible, inspiring them to explore the past, celebrate their rich and diverse histories, and envision what the future may hold.
