The GoGoPig is back and it’s more Olympic than ever!
2 dic 2025As the world gets ready for Milano Cortina 2026, our animated series returns to YouTube with a fresh new look and a renewed mission: to celebrate the spirit of the Winter Olympics through laughter, movement and discovery.
GoGoPig and Mr. Cat are ready to take children on a whirlwind adventure across the snowy landscapes of winter sports. Each episode dives into a different Olympic discipline - from ski jumping to bobsled, ice hockey to figure skating - combining adrenaline and humor with a touch of magic. For the first time, the series will be available in Spanish, alongside Italian and English, making it accessible to even more kids around the world.
At Maga, we like to think of animation as a playground for ideas, especially when it involves snow, sports and a pig in motion. With The GoGoPig, we’re turning winter sports into a weekly adventure where kids can laugh, learn and get ready to live the Olympic spirit like true little champions.
A new episode will be released every week on the official YouTube channel.

NORA steps into the spotlight at VIEW Conference
21 ott 2025On October 17th, we had the pleasure of presenting our talk at VIEW Conference in Turin, titled “NORA: the first Italian V-Idol and digital pop star”. It was a chance to share Maga’s creative and technical journey behind a project that’s been close to our hearts and represents a bold step into the future of digital storytelling.
NORA ノラ isn’t just a character, she’s a virtual artist, born from the fusion of animation, music and technology. As Italy’s first V-Idol, she embodies a new kind of pop star: one that lives in the digital space, connects with audiences through emotion and performance, and opens up new possibilities for how stories are told and experienced.
On stage were Serena Tripepi, director of NORA’s first music video, and Max Carrier Ragazzi, executive producer and showrunner. Together, they walked the audience through the process of creating NORA, from concept to execution, and reflected on the cultural and emotional layers that make her more than just a digital persona.
VIEW Conference was the perfect setting for this kind of exchange, bringing together artists, technologists and creatives from around the world. We’re grateful for the warm response and the curiosity around NORA and we’re excited to keep building her story.
