Lani Pixels

Lani Pixels is a Danish animation and digital storytelling studio established in 2000. Based in Risskov, near Aarhus, it creates computer-generated animation for entertainment, advertising, theme parks, broadcasting and interactive media. Its work spans character-led films, commercial productions, historical visualizations and digital experiences, combining creative development with animation, production and post-production capabilities.

The studio supports projects from concept design, storyboards and animatics through 3D modeling, character animation, motion capture, visual effects and compositing. Its broader offering includes editing, color grading, motion graphics and stereoscopic production. Interactive work extends to mobile and web applications, game and user-experience design, installations, real-time 3D and XR experiences. The company also offers AI-assisted animation tools, generative concept development and workflow automation.

Animation and interactive storytelling

An early milestone was Spellbreaker, released in 2006 and described as Denmark’s first full 4D film. Created for LEGOLAND theme parks, the production brought together stereoscopic animation and immersive storytelling, reaching more than 3.5 million visitors internationally.

In 2012, the studio produced The LEGO Story, a 17-minute animated film tracing the origins of Ole Kirk Christiansen and The LEGO Group for the company’s 80th anniversary. Its collaboration with LEGO also extended into interactive software through LEGO Technic – Digital Building Instructions, an application built around digital 3D instructions.

Commercial and broadcast production

More recent work includes AI-assisted historical recreations for DR1’s documentary series Fortidens hemmeligheder, also known as Secrets of the Past. The studio’s commercial portfolio includes projects for Novo Nordisk, LEGOLAND, Billund Airport and Danfoss, reflecting work across healthcare, attractions, transport and industrial businesses.

Lani Pixels has also pursued original feature animation. Its untitled family adventure project was announced with voice talent including Jacob Tremblay, Christopher Lloyd, Kenan Thompson and Mel Brooks. Alongside this feature development, the studio continues to offer CGI production and interactive services for commissioned projects across film, television, brands and location-based entertainment.
