Happy Camper Média

Happy Camper Média is an independent Canadian 2D animation studio and television production company. Founded in April 2018 by producer Renaud Sylvain, it develops and produces youth, children’s and preschool entertainment from concept development through animation, post-production and multiplatform extensions.

The studio specializes in adapting French-Canadian children’s literature and comic books for screen audiences. Its work spans animated television series, short-form capsules, feature-film production, fiction podcasts, interactive storybooks and web games. Its production capabilities include screenplay adaptation, storyboarding and animatics, visual development, character and environment design, 2D rigging and animation, colour styling, compositing, visual effects, sound coordination and post-production.

Screen work and IP development

A major part of the company’s catalogue is the adaptation of Alex A.’s L’Agent Jean! comic-book franchise, internationally known as Super Agent Jon Le Bon!. The studio first produced short animated capsules before expanding the property into long-form episodic television, podcasts and games. Its related productions include Mini-Jean et Mini-Bulle, while other adaptation work includes Les dragouilles, La petite dragouille, MaXi and the developing series Savais-tu?, Truffe and Tribu 3000.

Happy Camper Média is also producing its first theatrical feature, L’Agent Jean! : La fin des mondes. Directed by creative director Félix Larivière and coproduced with Maison 4:3 and Radio-Canada, the film is targeted for an autumn 2027 theatrical release.

Animation pipeline

The studio works in cut-out and hand-drawn 2D animation, using Toon Boom Harmony and Adobe creative software. Alongside animation production, it creates transmedia extensions that can include web games, interactive storytelling and fiction audio. Its projects have been made for broadcast, streaming and youth-media audiences, including platforms such as CBC Gem, ICI TOU.TV, Télé-Québec, Groupe Média TFO and Canal+ Afrique.

In late 2025, Happy Camper Média acquired the animation catalogue of Éditions de la Pastèque, adding projects including La liste des choses qui existent and Le facteur de l'espace to its development activity.
