About Lunchbox Labs
Lunchbox Labs is an American animation and experiential entertainment studio producing CG animation, original intellectual property, branded content and immersive experiences. Formed through a production alliance between Meticulous Media and Moondog Animation Studio, it brings together entertainment development, animation production and interactive media capabilities. Its work spans children's and family entertainment, film and television, consumer products and public attractions.
The studio develops projects across multiple formats, connecting screen storytelling with physical experiences and digital platforms. Its production services cover concept development, world building, scriptwriting, storyboarding, character design, rigging and full-pipeline animation. Alongside feature films and episodic series, it produces shorts, music videos, promotional content and animation for brands. Merchandising, licensing and transmedia development extend its work beyond the initial production.
Animation and entertainment
Lunchbox Labs co-produces Weird Waters with Wada Wada Entertainment and other production partners. The property includes a CG-animated television series and a companion theatrical animated feature. The studio also works with Buzzing Bee Media on Bixbee and the Beekeepers, combining animated series development with a consumer-products licensing property.
Its children's entertainment work includes Windy Weatherfoot, an eco-adventure series accompanied by an interactive Roblox world. These projects reflect a production approach that connects characters and stories with opportunities for audience participation across entertainment and consumer platforms.
Experiences beyond the screen
The studio's interactive work includes augmented and virtual reality environments, projection mapping, sensor-driven installations and themed attraction media. Its reported experiential projects include work for venues such as the Kennedy Space Center and the St. Louis Aquarium. These capabilities support projects for theme parks, museums, aquariums, retail activations and other public venues.
Lunchbox Labs operates through production and leadership hubs in Charleston, Los Angeles and New York City. Its distributed footprint connects animation production with creative development, entertainment management and experiential media work.
