850 METERS is an animated comedy short produced by THURISTAR in coproduction with Lunanime. The short has aired on CANAL+ in France, Ketnet (VRT) and Ouftivi (RTBF) in Belgium. In 2016 its TV series spin-of "My knight and me" was released and aired world wide.

Synopsis : A not-so-brave knight is on a quest for Fame and Fortune - legend says rescuing a princess is the way to go. And in those same fairy tales, there's only one way to slay the dragon that hold the fair lady captive : find the invincible sword. To reach his goal, the knight is ready to go far. Maybe even as far as 850 meters...
