About Digitales Studios
Digitales Studios was a Mumbai-based computer animation and visual effects studio established in late 2011. It produced CGI content for feature films, children's television, home entertainment, advertising and emerging digital media. Its production work combined character animation with asset creation, visual effects and digital compositing.
Originally established as a studio division under Karishma Software Private Limited, publicly branded as Karishma Studios, the business subsequently gained a dedicated legal entity, Digitales Media Private Limited, incorporated in March 2016. Its production capabilities covered pre-production and conceptual artwork through modeling, texturing, shading, rigging, animation, lighting and final compositing. The studio also offered look development, stereoscopic content creation, dynamics, particle effects and environmental simulation.
Animation and production work
A significant part of the studio's international portfolio involved direct-to-home animated features. Digitales Studios collaborated with Splash Entertainment on three installments of the Alpha and Omega franchise for Lionsgate: Family Vacation, The Big Fweeze and Dino Digs. These projects involved full 3D CGI animation production.
Its television work included animation for the first-season Bing episode Smoothie, alongside Tandem Films and Acamar Films. Other reported productions included the Arabic CGI series Freej, the comedy series Tash Toons, broadcast on MBC 1, and Wendy, adapted from the European equine youth publication. The studio's work also included the Hindi animated feature Ek Thi Pari and original IP development and visual tests for Interplanetary Lizards.
Emerging formats and development
Beyond conventional film and television animation, Digitales Studios worked with Legend VR on Stan Lee's Cosmic Crusaders, a virtual reality animated motion comic experience introduced at San Diego Comic-Con in 2016. In 2017, it announced a collaboration with Pran's Features to develop a 3D animated television adaptation of cartoonist Pran Kumar's character Billoo.
The studio is now inactive. Its production activities tapered off after 2017–2018, and its historical website domain subsequently expired.
