About Pink Kong Studios
Pink Kong Studios is an independent animation studio based in Dublin, Ireland. Established in 2014, the female-led company creates original television series, animated short films and immersive experiences alongside animation production services for external clients. Its work spans children's and family entertainment, film, interactive media and commercial campaigns.
The studio combines character-driven storytelling with 2D digital animation, 3D computer graphics and virtual, augmented and mixed reality. Its production capabilities cover concept development, scriptwriting, storyboarding, character design, hand-drawn and cut-out animation, and compositing. Interactive work extends to digital applications and animated experiences for immersive platforms.
Original storytelling
Pink Kong created and produced Urban Tails, a preschool musical series for RTÉjr. Its hip-hop-inspired animal characters introduce young viewers to urban wildlife, combining music with educational storytelling. The studio's short-film work includes Departure and The Dead Hands of Dublin, developed with support from Irish screen and broadcast organisations.
Immersive storytelling forms another strand of its output. Its animated VR narrative Aurora premiered at the Audi Dublin International Film Festival in 2018, while Maria is another example of its work in VR animation. These projects sit alongside its television and film productions within a broader original-content portfolio.
The supplied development slate includes Planet Park, an eco-adventure television project; Aleeums, a preschool series; Cryptix, an action-comedy series; and Pookaville, an adventure-comedy feature project. These are development projects rather than an indication that each has been released.
Production services
Alongside its own intellectual property, Pink Kong supplies creative development and animation services for broadcasters, advertising clients, government agencies and digital productions. Its commercial offering brings together writing, visual development, animation and interactive media production. Work ranges from entertainment projects to public information campaigns, including animation created for the Ombudsman for Children.
