From animation to cross-media brands

The studio’s flagship property, Molang, originated from Hye-Ji Yoon’s emoticons and is directed by Marie-Caroline Villand. The franchise spans six broadcast seasons and has expanded into short-form digital entertainment, publishing, consumer products and international licensing. It illustrates the company’s approach to developing animated characters across broadcast, online and retail channels.

Millimages’ catalogue also includes 64 Zoo Lane, Mouk, Corneil & Bernie, Lascars and Skyland, reflecting work across preschool storytelling, comedy and science fiction. Its productions have reached audiences through broadcasters including Canal+, France Télévisions, BBC, TF1, Super RTL, ZDF, ABC Australia and Disney.

Alongside its television business, Millimages develops digital-first content for platforms such as YouTube and TikTok. The supplied research reports more than 10 million daily views across its social networks and streaming channels. Brand management, merchandising, publishing and mobile gaming form part of its wider strategy for extending the life and reach of its properties. The company also handles international programme sales, third-party rights management and co-production financing, connecting its creative development work with distribution and commercial partnerships.
