New 2D animation studio coming soon

We're so excited that our long-term ambition to diversify into a fully fledged 2D studio is being realised, and we're able to support the growing demand for 2D animation.

The studio will be based around a ToonBoom Harmony pipeline, creating episodic TV series for major broadcasters across the world, as well as building on our own IP catalogue. With this expansion, we're set to become the biggest independent 2D and 3D animation studio in the UK.

This is a hugely important milestone for us, adding another string to our animation bow and maintaining that versatility that keeps us at the forefront of the industry (and on our toes!). Thanks to a comeback in traditional animation particularly among older children, we're seeing a growing demand for 2D animation.

We're also bursting to announce that the first project for the new studio will be Pony, a new 2D animated comedy for an international broadcaster conceived by super-talent Ant Blades. Pony follows the story of an average girl, Annie, her (almost) average family and her excitable, loveable pony who comes to live with them in their city apartment. Ant will be directing the 20 half-hour episodes, and the characters and stories are already coming to life in his unmistakable and charming animation style.
