About Disnosc

Disnosc is a French animation production company founded in 2020 in Biarritz, in the Basque Country. Its creative focus is realistic, cinematic, hand-drawn 2D animation for young adult and adult audiences, with an emphasis on illustrative and pictural approaches. Its work spans original films, television and streaming projects, video game cinematics, public advocacy campaigns and immersive experiences.

As a production house, Disnosc develops original intellectual property and handles executive production, financing and co-production. It works with French regional bodies and international partners to build creative and financial structures for animated projects. Its development slate encompasses feature films, shorts, documentary series and virtual reality, bringing its cinematic approach to several formats and audiences.

Original productions

Projects in development include Figures Bleues, a feature written and directed by Nathan Otaño, and the companion virtual reality experience Figures Bleues Interactive, co-produced with Canadian studio Fig55. The slate also includes Lucioles, a historical animated short developed with Rainbox Productions and directed by Théophile Lefebvre, and Lycéens de Guerre, an animated documentary series by Marjory Ott, directed by Nathan Otaño.

Disnosc is also credited with co-production and key animation on Héctor Zafra Matos’s Buffet Paraíso, alongside Hampa Studio and WKND. Its television work includes co-production, rigging and 2D animation for ARTE’s C'est plus compliqué que ça.

Selected commissioned work

The studio’s reported portfolio includes character animation and cinematic cutscenes for Don't Nod’s Harmony: The Fall of Reverie, made in collaboration with Yapiko and Tchack, and 2D character posing for Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix. Other contributions include animation sequences for Sorcières, Chronique d'un massacre and storyboarding for La quête d'Ewilan.

Its public campaign work includes Une signature peut sauver des millions de vies for the ONE Campaign, an animated film projected onto the Palais Garnier in Paris and distributed internationally. These projects sit alongside the company’s longer-term development of original animated properties.
