About Little Moon Animation
Little Moon Animation is an independent Irish CG animation and digital media studio based in Dublin. Launched commercially in 2019, it develops original entertainment for children and families across animated television, short films and interactive experiences. Its work combines character-led storytelling with educational themes, Irish-language learning and cultural heritage.
The studio uses real-time game engine technology in episodic animation, with Unreal Engine 5 central to its broadcast production pipeline. Its capabilities span concept development, scriptwriting, storyboarding, character design, visual development, CG animation and real-time rendering. Alongside original productions, it offers international co-production and production services for television and streaming, as well as game design and interactive asset production.
Animation and language learning
Its preschool series Fia’s Fairies introduces young audiences to conversational Irish through animated storytelling. Produced for RTÉjr and RTÉ Player, the series began broadcasting in 2022 and continued with a second season in 2025. Monster Entertainment handles distribution. The musical spin-off Fia’s Fairies: Ceol le Cairde extends the property through animated Irish-language sing-along songs arranged by composer Jake Morgan.
For older children, The Scavengers is a twenty-episode science-fiction adventure set in a future Ireland following climate disaster. Aimed at viewers aged six to twelve, the series is distributed internationally by PGS Entertainment. The studio’s short-form work includes Little One, written and directed by Avery Angle, which follows a father-daughter relationship across the four seasons.
Stories across formats
Little Moon also develops projects that connect animation with digital play. Its slate includes Language Magic, a tablet and mobile language-learning prototype, and Littlest Witches, a preschool series with a companion Roblox experience. Other development projects include Tales From The Wagon, a family television special adapting Romani stories by Richard O’Neill, and EmPowered, a Halloween special co-written by Jody O’Neill and Carol Walsh. Together, these projects reflect a production model spanning broadcast storytelling, educational media and interactive entertainment.
