Ánima Estudios is a Mexican animation studio and entertainment company founded in 2002. Its work spans original intellectual property, theatrical features, television series, digital content, brand management, and animation production for partners and broadcasters.

The studio works across 2D digital animation and 3D/CGI character animation, with capabilities that extend from visual development, concept and character design, storyboarding, and scriptwriting through full production, post-production, and digital delivery. Its commercial work also includes co-productions, service production, IP strategy, merchandising, and licensing.
