Mighty Yeti Studios

Mighty Yeti Studios is an independent, creator-owned 3D CG animation and transmedia entertainment studio founded in 2012. Its original work spans children’s digital publishing, animated series, interactive media, graphic novels and franchise-oriented storytelling for kids and family audiences.

The studio began by developing interactive storybook apps and e-books, including Maggie is Afraid of Monsters, A Shark Knocked on the Door, Mr. Cupcake Has The Sprinkles, and Jacob the Gibberish Machine. It has since expanded into CG animation production and original intellectual-property development, combining character-led storytelling with educational and interactive formats.

Original entertainment and publishing

Its flagship production, Classtronauts, is a CG-animated preschool series for ages 3–6 about curious children attending school in space. The series combines STEM concepts, social-emotional learning and mission-based adventures. Other original work includes Jellyhops and Tiny Yeti music and learning shorts.

In 2023, the studio organized its development slate around three content labels:

• Tiny Yeti for preschool and toddler animated musical shorts, learning videos and adapted storybooks
• Mighty Yeti for family-friendly, all-ages animated series
• SquatchX for teen and adult graphic novels and comic books

Production capabilities

Mighty Yeti provides full-service CG animation production, creative direction, pre-production consulting, television and streaming-series development, storyboarding, animatic editing, character design, visual development, modeling, rigging, layout, lighting and compositing. Its work also encompasses voice-casting and audio-production management, publishing layout and design systems, and transmedia worldbuilding.

The studio uses a scalable cloud-based episodic pipeline incorporating Maya, Maya Sequencer, Arnold, Nuke, ShotGrid and Unreal Engine for real-time and cinematic rendering. A compact California-based creative team works with a distributed network of freelance artists, animators, editors and voice talent as productions require.

Alongside its original IP, Mighty Yeti has provided animation production and creative consulting for entertainment clients including Nickelodeon and Sony Pictures Animation.
