About Gingerbread Animation

Gingerbread Animation is an Irish animation production company established in Dublin in March 2017. It developed original, creator-driven animated television for children and youth audiences and offered tailored creative and production services to international broadcasters. Its production work focused on trad-digital 2D animation, combining hand-drawn and rigged approaches with an integrated script-to-screen workflow.

The company was formed as a joint venture between children’s entertainment distributor CAKE and Australian animation producer Studio Moshi. The venture brought together Irish creative talent, Studio Moshi’s production expertise, and CAKE’s international financing and distribution capabilities. Its establishment also reflected the partners’ interest in Ireland’s screen production incentives and animation talent pool.

Production work

Its flagship production was Space Chickens in Space, a surreal science-fiction comedy commissioned for Disney XD and Disney Channel EMEA and Australia’s Nine Network. The production comprised 52 eleven-minute episodes and eleven two-minute shorts. It was an international co-production involving Gingerbread Animation, Studio Moshi, Ánima Estudios and financing partner Ingenious Media, with worldwide distribution handled by CAKE.

Gingerbread’s contribution included substantial in-house pre-production, design, storyboarding, assembly editing and visual effects. Its broader production capabilities encompassed scriptwriting and story editing, character and environment design, storyboard supervision, digital animation, compositing and production management. These capabilities supported both the development of its own projects and production services for third parties.

The company’s physical production operations ended following delivery of its principal series in 2019. Its Irish legal entity subsequently remained registered, with statutory financial statements filed in April 2026. The continuing corporate registration is distinct from the studio’s former production activity.

More about Gingerbread Animation

Historical production leadership

During the studio's production period, Lindsey Adams served as supervising producer. The company was governed by co-directors Andrew Davies, Tom van Waveren and Ed Galton; the report does not establish these as current executive appointments.

Production pipeline

Studio Moshi supplied its proprietary digital 2D Toon Boom Harmony pipeline, together with creative leadership and primary animation direction. This shared technical foundation supported the international production arrangement.

Industry recognition

At the 2019 Irish Animation Awards, Gingerbread Animation's Paul Rutledge won Best VFX as part of an Animated TV Series or Film for Space Chickens in Space. The production also received nominations for directing, recognizing Tommy and Markus Vad Flaaten, and for writing.
