Baleuko

Baleuko is an independent Spanish audiovisual and animation production company founded in 1993. Based in the Basque Country, it began with historical and cultural documentaries before expanding into animation and event management in 1997. Its work now spans animated features, television series, documentaries, cultural programming and interactive audiovisual experiences.

The studio works across 2D and 3D production, combining Toon Boom Harmony cut-out workflows, traditional hand-drawn techniques, modelling, compositing and audiovisual integration. Its production services cover the full animation lifecycle—from pre-production, storyboarding and character design through animation and final compositing—as well as end-to-end film and television production, co-production management and audiovisual consulting.

Animation, screen work and cultural production

Baleuko has produced animated feature films and series for children and family audiences, including the Olentzero film saga, The Wish Fish, Blackie & Kanuto, Betizu eta urrezko zintzarria, Iratxoak and Blackie & Company. Its recent television work includes 2D animation production for the second season of Los Wawies and co-production work on the third season and holiday feature of Momonsters.

The company also produces live-action and non-fiction programming, including the long-running social documentary series Ur Handitan for Basque public broadcaster EITB. Its markets include theatrical film, television and broadcast, children’s entertainment, digital media and cultural or public-sector institutions.

Interactive production

Alongside screen production, Baleuko develops immersive and interactive work for exhibitions and digital platforms. Its R&D activity includes real-time 3D virtual avatars, LiDAR room scanning, and augmented- and virtual-reality experiences, with Unity-based visual-effects particle workflows supporting these projects.
