Mavi Baykuş

Mavi Baykuş is an Istanbul-based animation and CGI production studio established in 2015. Its work spans original animated properties, visual effects and architectural projection mapping, with a particular focus on children’s and pre-school entertainment. The studio develops content for television, streaming and video-sharing platforms, alongside digital productions for interactive media and cultural events.

Its animated storytelling combines character-led adventures with themes intended for young audiences. The company describes its approach as entertaining and educationally responsible, with an emphasis on positive role models, social awareness and stories that families and broadcasters can trust.

Original animated worlds

Dumper and Skoop, known in Turkish as Homur ve Gumur, follows toy construction vehicles through adventures built around teamwork, empathy and creative problem-solving. The series began broadcasting on minika ÇOCUK in March 2020 and has expanded through multiple seasons and digital compilations, with distribution across television and video-sharing networks.

Other original properties include Captain Pillow Beard (Yastık Sakal), a maritime fantasy comedy, and City Vehicles (Şehrin Araçları), an early-childhood adventure series centered on vehicles. Together, these productions reflect the studio’s focus on developing characters and recurring story worlds for children and family audiences.

Production capabilities

Mavi Baykuş provides end-to-end animated series production, covering concept development, scriptwriting, directing and storyboarding through modeling, rigging, texturing, animation, lighting and rendering. Its production capabilities also include character concept design and pipeline management, supporting projects from early creative development to finished audiovisual content.

Beyond episodic animation, the studio produces CGI and visual effects for television and cinema, as well as 3D projection mapping for large architectural displays and cultural live events. Its broader portfolio includes broadcast branding, promotional animation and visual identities, including work for the TRT International Children’s Media Conference in 2018. These activities extend its character animation practice into event-based and commissioned audiovisual production.
