Look Mom! Productions

Look Mom! Productions was a Toronto-based animation studio launched by Blue Ant Media on October 12, 2017. It developed and produced creator-driven animated content for children, teens and adults, combining original intellectual property development with full-service 2D animation production. Its work ranged from short-form comedy and adult episodic series to children's projects and international co-productions.

The studio's production capabilities covered visual development, character and background design, storyboarding, script development, animation pre-production and co-production management. Its development approach connected independent creative talent with opportunities to build original animated projects for broadcast and digital distribution. Adult comedy became a prominent part of its slate, alongside projects aimed at children aged six to eleven.

Productions and development

Its flagship adult comedy, Gary and His Demons, was created by Mark Little and premiered in 2018 through a partnership with Mondo Media and VRV. The series subsequently reached CBC Gem, Prime Video and Amazon Freevee across two seasons. Look Mom! also produced Bigfoot with Mondo Media and contributed to the animated horror anthology Red Iron Road through the episode VRDLK: Family of Vurdulak.

The studio was commissioned in 2020 to produce Josh O’Keefe's post-apocalyptic comedy Doomlands. Initially ordered by Quibi, the project was acquired by Roku in 2021 and premiered in January 2022 as The Roku Channel's first adult animated scripted original. Its children's development slate included Toy Hunters, Cloudface and the international treaty co-production The Great Hotel Rudini of Illusionism.

Consolidation into Blue Ant Studios

In August 2023, Blue Ant Media announced the consolidation of its production and distribution operations following its acquisition of marblemedia. Look Mom! was among the production businesses brought into the unified studio structure. By August 2024, industry reporting identified its animation operations as absorbed into Blue Ant Studios. Look Mom! therefore represents a historical animation studio label whose team and development slate continued within that broader business.
