About Ánima Kitchent
Ánima Kitchent is a Spanish animation production company focused on 2D and 3D CGI entertainment for children, young audiences and families. Founded in 2014, it develops original properties, produces animated series and features, and provides production services for international partners.
The studio’s work spans the full production process, from concept development, scripting and character design through storyboarding, layout, animation, lighting, compositing and audio production. Its commercial offering also includes co-production partnerships, international distribution, multiplatform syndication, brand management and licensing.
Children’s entertainment and IP
A central part of the company’s portfolio is Cleo & Cuquín, a 3D CGI reimagining of the classic Spanish Familia Telerín property. The franchise has expanded through Cuquín series and musical shorts, while the studio’s broader slate includes Cuquín: Dragon Bay, PINY Institute of New York, Tippi T-Rex, Lea & Pop, Titto Lizzardo, Koli Koala and Baby Zu.
Ánima Kitchent works across broadcast, streaming and digital-video ecosystems, serving children’s and family entertainment markets alongside broadcasters, global streaming platforms, toy and merchandising partners, publishers and licensing businesses. Its work combines original IP development with animation service work and international co-productions.
Production footprint
After beginning in Madrid, the company expanded its animation pipeline to the Canary Islands in 2016. Its Spanish production presence supports long-form features, television series and multiplatform entertainment, with the Canary Islands operation benefiting from the region’s audiovisual framework and creative talent base.
In June 2026, DNEG, part of Prime Focus Group, acquired Ánima Kitchent. The studio remains active as part of that group while continuing its focus on family animation, character-led storytelling and globally distributed content.
