About Blue Zoo
Founded in 2000 by university classmates, we have organically grown to become one of the UK's leading character animation production studios. We aim to produce joyfully compelling stories packed and full of character by creating beautiful animation.
Since our studio was born, we've always experimented and explored our way to success, not just for ourselves but for our entire industry, from founding AnimationUK to helping run many progressive industry initiatives.
Furthermore, our commitment to fostering a positive working environment is unwavering. We strive to create a space filled with talented, happy artists crafting content they are genuinely proud of, routinely achieving over 95% staff and client satisfaction scores.
More than animation
We offer a fully integrated suite of animation services, where every team collaborates to create maximum impact across content development, production, digital engagement, and brand licensing.
From crafting character bibles and immersive worlds to delivering Emmy-winning episodic series and commercials, our expert teams ensure that every project reaches its full potential.
Our unique, interconnected approach ensures that everything, from concept to licensing, is strategically aligned, creating seamless, high-quality content that resonates across platforms and audiences.
Animation as a force for good
In September 2021, our animation studio achieved a significant milestone by becoming the world's first B Corp-certified independent animation studio. This accomplishment has propelled us forward in our mission to create impactful, beautiful animations while using our art as a force for good.
The B Corp framework has not only shaped our company culture but also significantly enhanced it, leading to exceptional staff satisfaction and recognition as a top workplace. Despite the challenges posed by the ongoing global issues and the post-pandemic landscape, we remain committed to our environmental and social responsibilities, thanks to the strong team spirit and dedication of our employees.
Our client's success is our success
Our mission is simple: we want to be equally proud of the work we make for our clients, as our clients are.
We also want to ensure our team have enjoyed creating and collaborating as much as the audience enjoys watching the result.
This winning combination keeps clients coming back to us for over 24 years!
It's always nice to win an award!
Over the last 24 years, we've been very proud of the industry and peer recognition our team's work has been accoladed with.
