About KidsCave Studios
KidsCave Studios is an independent British animation and transmedia production company founded in 2015. Based in London, it develops, finances and produces character-driven children's entertainment, with a focus on CGI animated series and original intellectual property. Its projects are conceived for audiences across television, streaming, publishing, toys and digital gaming.
The studio combines creative development with production management. Its capabilities span concept development, pitch bibles, teasers, scriptwriting, character and world design, storyboarding, animatics and pre-visualization. It also provides art direction, light keys, animation direction, asset creation and pipeline supervision, working with specialist production and audio partners where required. Delivery encompasses global streaming and broadcast requirements.
Original animated properties
KidsCave's first major series, Robozuna, launched in 2018 on CITV in the UK and Netflix internationally. The 40-episode CGI action-adventure production, with episodes running 22 minutes, was co-produced and distributed with ITV Studios. The property illustrates the company's approach to developing a screen-based storyworld alongside opportunities in toys and digital entertainment.
Its second original franchise, Kitti Katz, premiered on Netflix in May 2023. The first season comprises ten 22-minute episodes of superhero action-comedy, following teenage heroines with feline transformation powers. KidsCave's contribution included pre-production, visual development, character and world design, storyboards, light keys and art direction. Netflix also commissioned a second season, as reported alongside the first season's launch.
The company's development slate includes Tallula Turtle, an original animated children's property. Across its projects, KidsCave brings together storytelling, visual development, production oversight and commercial planning, building entertainment properties with potential applications beyond their initial animated series.
