Letko

Letko is an independent animation studio and creative development house based in Warsaw, Poland. Founded in 2015, it develops original intellectual property and produces hand-drawn, digital cut-out and hybrid 2D animation for television, feature films and auteur shorts. Its work connects artistic filmmaking with international co-production, serving preschool, children's and youth audiences alongside independent cinema.

The studio works across the production process, helping shape projects from initial ideas into finished animation. Early development includes story concepts, narrative positioning, pitch bibles, character design and visual world-building. These stages can extend into animation tests, pilots, script development and production design before moving into storyboards, animatics, voice recording and animation.

Animation and production

Letko combines expressive character animation with puppet-based techniques and 2.5D approaches to lighting, shading and compositing. Its production capabilities cover character rigging, digital asset creation, backgrounds and environments, followed by editing, visual effects and color grading. The studio also supports production financing, international co-production arrangements, festival strategy, market presentations and coordination with sales partners.

Its operating focus spans three complementary areas: developing original properties, supporting artistic exploration through short films, and delivering episodic and feature-length animation. This allows the studio to work with filmmakers on individual visual and narrative approaches while participating in larger collaborative productions.

Selected work

The preschool series Odo was co-produced with Sixteen South, while Toru Superfox was developed with Animoon and distributed internationally by CAKE. Other television projects include Happy Not Lucky, Sol & Liv and Kazka, with Freddie Little Chopin identified in the research as being in development or production.

Feature credits include Kill It and Leave This Town, Jacob, Mimmi and the Talking Dogs, Born Happy and Born in the Jungle. Its short-film portfolio includes Airborne, Story, Room and All My Fucking Superheroes. Together, these productions reflect a practice spanning preschool storytelling, family features and director-led animated cinema.
