Later this year, the companies will begin producing their first project together-a 26 x half-hour CG-animated series called Digital Girl. “The very appealing part of the deal is Cyber’s commitment to investing in our new IPs, which will then plug into wider distribution and sales network.” “We’ve dipped our toes into our own IP development, but you need a lot of resources to do it well,” says Taylor. Well-known for its 2D/CG animation and live-action service work, A Productions was particularly attracted to the prospect of doing more original productions, says managing and creative director Mark Taylor (pictured bottom left), who will continue to head up the company with managing director and senior producer Katherine McQueen (pictured bottom right). Its key objective with Cyber Group is to develop its real-time pipeline, which will help it to compete regionally, internationally and in rapidly emerging sectors like extended reality, says Scrawl Studios CEO and Scrawl Animation director Seng Choon Meng.Īll of the new acquisitions are expected to help Cyber Group strengthen its 15-project development slate, consolidate resources, and improve its financing and speed-to-market capabilities, says president and CEO Pierre Sissmann.”The vision was to identify best-in-class companies that share values and could form a bigger group within ours,” he says.īristol-based A Productions’ expertise in uniquely British preschool content, as well as its commitment to diversity and inclusion, were big draws for Cyber Group. Scrawl Animation has been unofficially operational since Q4 2021, with projects already in the works. (Scrawl Studios also has an affiliated outpost in China.) Financial terms of this latest deal have not been disclosed, but Scrawl’s senior leadership team will remain intact. Scrawl Animation is a real-time animation shop recently established by Scrawl Studios, Cyber Group’s co-pro partner on toon series Zou and Mademoiselle Zazie.
After recently acquiring controlling interest in two established animation studios- A Productions in the UK ( Jo Jo & Gran Gran) and Graphilm Entertainment in Italy ( Nefertine on the Nile)-Paris-based Cyber Group Studios has taken a majority stake in Scrawl Animation, a new Singapore-based venture, as part of its ongoing international expansion plan.
