Every great show starts with a brave idea.

We create the worlds, and together we will  bring them to life. The whole kit and caboodle.  

Original IP, ready to commission.
Built for partners who think long term.

We are the independent UK animation development studio with a slate of wholly-owned original IP spanning preschool to young teen. Every property has been created from scratch, developed with global audiences in mind, and is available to the right partner for commission, co-production, licensing or format sale.

We don't make content to fill a gap. We build characters and worlds that audiences return to - because they mean something. If you're looking for IP with genuine emotional depth, global commercial potential and a creator who will stay involved and fight for the work, you're in the right place.

 

We partner through

Co-development: We're selective about co-development partnerships, but we're open to the right ones. If you have IP at an early stage that needs a creative development partner with skin in the game, let's talk about what that could look like.

 

Commission & co-production: We bring fully developed IP to the table, pitch materials, series bibles, episode outlines and visual identity - ready for a commissioning conversation. We're experienced co-production partners and understand what broadcasters and streamers need to move forward.

Licensing & Options: Our properties are built for extension - publishing, gaming, merchandise, live experience. We're open to licensing conversations with partners who understand how to grow IP responsibly across formats and territories.

 

Output Deals & Commissioning: Building long-term relationships with producers and networks to deliver series and franchises at scale.

Transmedia Collaboration: Extending our worlds beyond the screen - into audio, books, gaming, stage plays, toys and immersive experiences.
