About Gallus Entertainment Inc.

Gallus Entertainment Inc. was a Canadian animation and television production studio focused on children’s and family entertainment. Operating publicly as Gallus Entertainment, the independent company produced 2D and 3D computer animation for broadcast television, streaming services and international co-productions.

Its production services covered visual development, storyboarding, modeling, rigging, layout, animation, lighting, compositing and post-production supervision. The studio worked on preschool and youth programming, combining animation services for other producers with its own productions.

Television production

One of Gallus’s largest early projects was Waybuloo, the BBC preschool series that premiered in 2009. Working with The Foundation and Absolutely Cuckoo, Gallus supplied animation production and direction across 150 episodes. Its contribution included the CGI Pipling characters, which were integrated with live-action backgrounds.

Gallus also provided CGI character animation for the second season of Super Why! and animation services for Doozers. Other work included animated segments for Finding Stuff Out and co-production and animation services on G.U.N.K. Aliens. These projects placed the studio within a network of Canadian and international children’s television producers.

A major proprietary production was Glowbies, known in French as Les Globies, for CBC Kids and TFO. Gallus produced and animated three seasons between 2017 and 2021, extending its work in preschool television through both English- and French-language programming.

Development in Northern Ontario

The company initially operated in Toronto before relocating its production base to Greater Sudbury around 2014–2015. Its Northern Ontario operations brought together animators, modelers and technical directors and benefited from regional production support. The move also connected Gallus with the local film and television production community.

The supplied research records the studio as closed following the completion of its later productions. By October 2026, its website was unavailable and the report found no active production or hiring since approximately 2021.
