Gaumont Animation (formerly known as Alphanim)[1][2] is a French animation studio. It was acquired by Gaumont Film Company in 2008 as a return to television production, and an entry into English-language productions, after Gaumont Television was sold in 1999. It was rebranded as Gaumont Animation in 2013.[1][2] The company's animated catalog comprises over 800 half-hours, broadcast in over 130 countries.
Its productions include Mona the Vampire, Robotboy, Galactik Football, Calimero, 2016 Noddy (after the rights were acquired from DreamWorks Animation in 2013),[2] Trulli Tales, Belle and Sebastian,[4] Furiki Wheels, F is for Family and Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles. Film projects in development include Plunder and a musical adaptation of Paul McCartney's novel High in the Clouds.
In June 2023, Gaumont signed a first-look deal with the Belgian producer Studio 100, which will co-produce series with and distribute Gaumont Animation's catalogue worldwide.[5]
