About Moetion Films
Moetion Films is an independent animation development and production company based in Galway, Ireland. Founded in 2013, it develops animated feature films and television series for international audiences, with a focus on character-driven stories, underdogs and family entertainment. Its work combines original project development, international co-production and specialist English-language voice production.
The studio develops concepts, characters, scripts and storyboards, alongside packages intended to bring projects to international markets. Its production activities concentrate on CGI and 3D animation, working with European creative and financial partners to bring feature films and episodic projects into production. It participates in both lead and minority co-productions and provides Irish production management, accounting and Section 481 incentive packaging.
Feature film production
The company's debut feature, Two by Two – Ooops! The Ark Has Gone... (2015), was co-produced with Ulysses Filmproduktion, Fabrique d’Images and Skyline Entertainment. Also released as Ooops! Noah Is Gone... and All Creatures Big and Small, it reached more than 460 cinemas across the UK and Ireland and was sold in over 120 territories.
Moetion followed it with Two by Two: Overboard! (2020), also known as Ooops! The Adventure Continues..., which topped the UK and Irish box office on its theatrical debut. The studio subsequently co-produced Niko – Beyond the Northern Lights (2024), working alongside Anima Vitae, Ulysses Filmproduktion and A. Film Production.
Voice production and adaptation
Alongside its own development and co-production work, Moetion provides boutique voice casting, voice directing, English dubbing and script adaptation for international animated films. This service work complements its original productions and supports the English-language presentation of European animation.
Its voice-production credits include Checkered Ninja, Checkered Ninja 2, Captain Sabertooth and the Magic Diamond, My Fairy Troublemaker, The Polar Bear Prince and Super Charlie. Across these activities, the studio serves theatrical animation, children's and family television, streaming and international distribution markets.
