Demente Animation Studio

Demente Animation Studio is an independent Mexican animation production company based in Guadalajara, Jalisco. Founded in 2015, it produces animation for television, streaming, feature films, advertising and games. Its work combines production services for international partners with co-productions and the development of original animated properties.

The studio works across 2D frame-by-frame animation, 3D CGI and 2.5D cut-out animation. Its production capabilities extend from visual development and pre-production through animation and final delivery. Teams handle concept art, character design, storyboarding, animatics, rigging, layout, background painting, character animation, compositing, visual effects and post-production mastering. This breadth allows Demente to support individual production stages or undertake a complete animation pipeline for series, shorts and features.

Production work

Demente’s service credits span adult animation, children’s programming and animated features. It supplied overflow animation for the fourth season of Rick and Morty through Bardel Entertainment and produced animation for two seasons of City Island in partnership with Augenblick Studios. Its feature work includes the 2D animated film Night of the Animated Dead, produced with Warner Bros. and The Long Game.

Its CGI work includes character redesign, rigging and animation for WildBrain Spark’s Animal Mechanicals, alongside animation for Hello Kitty and Friends Mini Tales. Commercial projects and game-related work extend the studio’s production activity beyond film and television, including corporate shorts, animated music videos and game trailers.

Original development and partnerships

Alongside commissioned work, Demente develops original intellectual property and collaborates with other producers on new projects. Its development slate includes the science-fiction animated feature Prometeo 2052, while its co-development work includes Boy and Dragon with WildBrain. Other collaborations include the animated short Enormous with Digitoonz and the series project Pachuko Boy 2055.

The studio serves entertainment companies, consumer brands and advertising clients across North America and Europe. Its operating model combines a Guadalajara production base with international creative and production partnerships, supporting both outsourced animation assignments and projects developed collaboratively.
