About Magic Beans Studios
Magic Beans Studios is an independent, creator-led animation studio founded in 2025. The Los Angeles-based company develops original animated worlds for children, family, and young adult audiences, with an emphasis on emotionally resonant storytelling, character-driven comedy, and themes of identity, belonging, and personal responsibility.
Its creative focus is craft-driven 2D and anime-inspired animation, combining hand-drawn care with cinematic staging, expressive character performance, and detailed world-building. Rather than operating as a high-volume production line, the studio concentrates on developing distinctive original properties and shaping their visual, narrative, and production foundations from concept through pre-production.
Original IP development
The studio’s debut project is Alphas, a 10-episode, 22-minute animated adventure series in development. Set 500 years in the future, the series follows 12-year-old Bee and her nanotech wristwatch companion, Bomie, through a cozy solarpunk Earth where evolved domestic animals known as the Alphas govern society. The project is designed as a 2D anime-inspired fantasy adventure for ages 8–12 and family audiences.
Magic Beans Studios is also incubating original animated properties including Kog Save Universe and Magic Now. Its development work spans the foundational elements needed to bring original entertainment concepts to market:
- Original IP creation and universe development
- World-building, lore design, and character-led storytelling
- Scriptwriting, narrative development, and showrunning
- Concept design, storyboarding, animatics, and episodic direction
- Co-production and international distribution packaging
Creative approach
The studio frames its work around building worlds with wonder, humor, and heart. Its projects pair accessible family entertainment with deeper emotional and thematic stakes, while its visual storytelling approach prioritizes cinematic composition and performance. Magic Beans Studios also works with international broadcasters, streaming platforms, and distribution partners as it develops its slate of animated series and related intellectual property.
