About Open Alliance Media
Open Alliance Media is a Moscow-based CGI animation company established in 2014 as the dedicated animation production arm of the Open Alliance business group. Its work centered on children's television animation, particularly JingleKids, known in Russian as Джинглики, which originated in books by author Oleg Roy.
The company developed the property into a 3D animated series after acquiring its animation rights. Early concept development had taken place before the Moscow company was established; the studio subsequently brought the project into its own production operation. The first episode appeared in late 2015, and the studio completed 15 episodes.
Production capabilities
Its production offering covered the animation process from concept design, scripts and storyboards through animatics, character modeling, texturing, rigging and animation. The studio also handled shading, lighting, visual effects, compositing and post-production. Its technical offering included 4K CGI rendering and 5.1 surround sound engineering and mixing, supporting delivery for television and digital platforms.
Alongside production, the company pursued international licensing for its children's content. JingleKids aired on Disney Channel Russia and reached international audiences through broadcast and streaming distribution, including Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. The supplied research documents distribution licenses across more than twenty territories, reflecting the international focus of the studio's commercial activity.
Development and subsequent history
The company also developed Christmas Adventures, an intended feature-length continuation of the JingleKids property supported by the Russian Cinema Fund. That production stalled and remained unfinished. Its completed television work and unrealized feature project therefore represent different stages of the company's production history.
Financial difficulties and disputes subsequently affected the business. Open Alliance Media retains an active legal registration, but the supplied research describes its animation production operation as dormant. Its historical production capabilities and distribution activity should therefore be understood in that context.

Recognition and commercial milestones
