Maven Animation Studio

Maven Animation Studio is an independent South Korean animation production company established in 2015 and based in Seoul. It produces traditional hand-drawn and digital 2D animation for international television, streaming series and animated films, working through overseas production partnerships and co-production arrangements.

Its capabilities span pre-production and main animation production. Storyboarding, concept art, character design and layout support the development of projects, while key animation, breakdowns, in-betweening, digital ink and paint, and compositing carry them through production. The studio also provides animation direction, production management and 3D/CGI support for projects combining digital techniques with 2D animation. Character acting, action choreography and dynamic layouts are particular areas of focus.

International production work

Maven served as the principal animation production partner and co-planner for the first season of Invincible, released in 2021. Its contribution covered much of the debut season's animation, and the supplied production history also identifies additional work on the second and third seasons.

The studio's film and television work includes collaborations with Warner Bros. Animation, DC Entertainment and Hasbro. Its portfolio includes animation production for Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One and Part Two and several seasons of Harley Quinn, alongside animation services and direction on Reign of the Supermen, Invader ZIM: Enter the Florpus, DC Super Hero Girls and Justice League Action.

Other reported projects include Stretch Armstrong and the Flex Fighters, Green Lantern: Beware My Power, Legion of Super-Heroes and Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths. Across these productions, Maven's credited responsibilities vary from animation direction and key animation to broader main production and overseas animation services.
