Cyber Group Studios

Cyber Group Studios was a French animation producer and distributor focused on television programming for children, preschoolers and family audiences. Founded in 2003 as Cyber Group Animation, the business combined original intellectual property development, animation production, international distribution and consumer products activities. It ceased operations following court-ordered liquidation in April 2025.

Its production capabilities encompassed 3D CGI, 2D digital and cutout animation, with development work extending from concepts and series bibles through design, storyboarding, production and post-production. Alongside making programmes, the company arranged co-productions and financing, distributed content to television and digital platforms, and managed licensing, merchandising and brand development around its properties.

Productions and international reach

The studio’s catalogue included Gigantosaurus, Zou, Taffy, Zorro: The Chronicles, Sadie Sparks, Droners and Press Start!. Gigantosaurus reached audiences through Disney Junior, Netflix and France Télévisions, while Taffy was produced with WarnerMedia. Across its operating history, Cyber Group built a catalogue exceeding 1,100 half-hour episodes, with programmes broadcast in more than 160 countries.

The business expanded internationally between 2017 and 2022, adding North American development and distribution operations and investing in animation businesses in Europe and Asia. Its activities connected French production with international co-production, acquisitions and programme sales. An animated adaptation of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy IX was in development before liquidation; it should be understood as an announced development project rather than a completed production.

Liquidation and catalogue sale

Cyber Group entered French judicial reorganisation on October 31, 2024. After rejecting takeover bids, the Paris Commercial Court ordered total judicial liquidation on April 23, 2025. In January 2026, independent producer Euro Visual and Cyber Group co-founder Pierre Sissmann acquired 80% of its assets and programme catalogue through the liquidation process. That transaction concerned the assets of the closed business and did not establish a continuing studio under a new name.
