Copenhagen Bombay

Copenhagen Bombay was a Danish animation and film production company focused on original storytelling for children, teenagers and families. Established in 2006, it developed projects across film, television and digital platforms, combining production with intellectual property development, international distribution and educational media. Its work encompassed animated features, television series, documentaries and live-action/animation hybrids.

The company worked in 2D digital animation, 3D computer animation and stereoscopic 3D. Its creative approach emphasized humor and distinctive visual design, with stories developed for audiences across different formats. Alongside individual productions, Copenhagen Bombay built cross-platform properties that could extend into broadcast, digital content and learning products.

Production and development

The group brought together dedicated businesses handling production, rights, sales and learning. This structure supported activities from concept development and IP incubation through animation production, international sales and distribution. Its educational work included digital learning products and media concepts, while its commercial capabilities also encompassed brand strategy.

Copenhagen Bombay's production history included animated features such as The Great Bear, Beyond Beyond, Next Door Spy and The Apple & The Worm. Its television work included Kiwi & Strit, Superhero Sprinter Galore and Børste. The company also produced the documentary The Testament, reflecting a portfolio that extended beyond children's animation.

Operating across Denmark and Sweden, the group developed more than 30 original IP productions, with distribution reaching more than 100 countries. Its combination of feature production, recurring television properties and international sales formed the basis of its work as a cross-platform media house.

Final years

In 2023, project timing changes, production freezes and liquidity shortages placed the business under financial pressure. Copenhagen Bombay Production 1 ApS entered bankruptcy proceedings on October 30, 2023, followed by other group companies. The group ceased operating, and the Swedish subsidiary's bankruptcy concluded in March 2025. Copenhagen Bombay is now closed.
