Andarta Pictures

Andarta Pictures is a French 2D animation production studio developing and producing animated series, feature-film projects, and short-form work for children, young-adult, family, and international audiences. Founded by producer Sophie Saget, the company combines original-property development with co-production and animation fabrication services.

The studio works across traditional hand-drawn, digital frame-by-frame, and puppet/cutout techniques. Its production offering spans script and editorial development, artistic supervision, storyboarding, character design, background layout, 2D rigging, animation, effects, compositing, and post-production. Andarta also supports international co-production packaging, financing plans, institutional-funding applications, and crowdfunding campaigns.

Development and production approach

A dedicated internal R&D function develops custom digital-2D workflows, asset-management processes, pipeline tools, and studio automation intended to support complex visual styles at production scale. The studio is particularly associated with literary and graphic-novel adaptations, visual development, art direction, and serialized storytelling.

Selected work

Andarta's original and co-produced projects include La Quête d'Ewilan (Ewilan's Quest), an eight-episode heroic-fantasy series adapted from Pierre Bottero's novels; the short-form comedy Gustave; Lisa & Kolos; and the project Baïdir. Its service and fabrication work includes the opening sequence for Lookism, as well as work on Petite Casbah, Lance Dur, Pompon Ours, Lana Longbeard, and Masameer: The Movie.

The company remains active following a 2025 recapitalization in which Ankama Group took a majority stake. Sophie Saget continues as President and Executive Producer, while Andarta operates as part of an industrial alliance pairing its 2D production capabilities with Ankama's transmedia and distribution reach.
