Aronnax Animation Studios

Aronnax Animation Studios was a Peruvian CGI animation and visual effects company based in Lima, also known publicly as Aronnax Films. Its work spanned animated feature films, television series, advertising and post-production for live-action cinema. The studio combined character animation with stereoscopic production and digital finishing capabilities, supporting projects from concept development through theatrical delivery.

Its first major feature began as The Verne Project and reached Peruvian cinemas in January 2012 as Los Ilusionautas. International releases used several titles, including The Illusionauts, Freedom Force and Fantastic 4orce. The production established the company's feature animation activity, which continued with the stereoscopic animated film The Nutcracker Sweet in 2015.

Aronnax's largest production was Condorito: La Película, an adaptation of the Chilean comic strip created by René Ríos Boettiger, known as Pepo. Co-directed by Eduardo Schuldt and Alex Orrelle, the film was released across Latin America by 20th Century Fox in October 2017. Its reported budget of US$8 million made it the highest-budgeted Peruvian animated film up to that time.

Beyond features, the studio produced the CGI television series La Casa de Timoteo for América TV and contributed digital visual effects and color grading to the live-action film F-27. Its commercial work included animation for Corso Wong and digital crowd work for BBVA Continental, alongside advertising projects for consumer brands.

The studio's production capabilities included character design, modeling and rigging, motion capture, visual effects simulation, digital compositing and computer illustration. Its post-production offering covered editing, color grading and digital cinema mastering, connecting animation production with the technical preparation of finished screen content.

The company entered formal liquidation in October 2016, before the theatrical release of Condorito. Peru's tax authority recorded its permanent deregistration in September 2018. Its historical website is now inactive, and the studio no longer operates.
