About Giggle Garage

Giggle Garage was a Malaysian CGI animation studio focused on original intellectual property and children’s and family entertainment. Founded in 2010, it developed animated characters, worlds and television properties while providing production services for international projects. Its work combined independently developed concepts with co-productions involving broadcasters, distributors and animation companies across several countries.

The studio’s production capabilities covered the animation process from early development through final delivery. Pre-production included concept ideation, visual development, character and world design, scriptwriting, pitch bibles and storyboarding. Its CGI production work encompassed modeling, texturing, rigging, layout and keyframe character animation. Post-production capabilities included lighting, rendering, visual effects, compositing, editing and audio coordination. Beyond production, the company worked on project packaging, co-production management, distribution and character licensing.

Original properties and international production

Its original properties included Origanimals and Cam & Leon. The latter was a non-dialogue slapstick comedy developed through a co-production with Measat/Astro. The studio also developed Sleepytown as an original intellectual property project.

International collaboration was central to its production business. Giggle Garage worked with Australia’s SLR Productions on Space Nova, alongside broadcast partners including ABC and Super RTL. It co-produced Time Traveler Luke with South Korea’s Daewon Media and Anyzac, and contributed CGI production to Kazoops! and Dr. Panda. Other productions included the preschool series Boing The Play Ranger and the animated action comedy T-Buster. These projects connected its Malaysian production team with international development, broadcasting and distribution networks.

The company served television broadcasters, streaming platforms, digital distribution channels and commercial animation clients. Its combination of original property development and commissioned CGI production supported work across preschool programming, comedy and adventure series.

Initially based in Petaling Jaya, Giggle Garage moved its production operations to Cyberjaya in 2014. Production ceased in 2026 amid financial distress and winding-up proceedings.
