About Dream Logic Studios
Dream Logic Studios is an independent animation and film production studio based in Dublin, Ireland. It develops, finances and produces animated television series, seasonal specials, short films and feature projects, with work spanning preschool programming, family entertainment and literary adaptations. Its visual approaches include hand-drawn and stylized 2D animation, 3D CGI and mixed-media formats.
The studio works across the production pipeline, combining story development and screenplay writing with concept art, character design, visual development and storyboarding. Its production capabilities include character modeling, rigging, animation direction and creative supervision. Development, project financing and executive production also form part of its work, supporting projects from their initial concepts through production.
Television, shorts and adaptations
The studio’s early work includes The Boy in the Bubble, a 2011 animated short narrated by Alan Rickman. Subsequent productions include The Lost Letter, an eight-minute short featuring Kate Winslet, and The Christmas Letter, a 26-minute CGI holiday special featuring Winslet, Fiona Shaw and Caitríona Balfe. The latter was produced with Lupus Films and screened through broadcasters and distribution platforms including Sky One, RTÉ and Universal Pictures.
Its television work includes Peek Zoo, a 2D preschool series comprising 26 seven-minute episodes, alongside the children’s series BB agus Bella and Havananimal. The studio also co-produced the CGI Halloween special The Ghastly Ghoul with Lupus Films for audiences including Sky Kids, RTÉ and KiKA.
International co-production is a recurring part of Dream Logic’s approach. Its development slate includes Tales of Terror, based on Chris Priestley’s Uncle Montague’s Tales of Terror, conceived as an animated miniseries and theatrical adaptation. The project brings together production partners in Ireland, the United Kingdom and Luxembourg, with development support identified from Screen Ireland, Film Fund Luxembourg and Creative Europe MEDIA. Alongside its original intellectual properties, the studio undertakes screenplay and concept development for adapted entertainment projects.
