About PixToon Animation Studio
PixToon Animation Studio is a full-cycle animation, visual effects and digital video production company based in Chișinău, Moldova. Its work spans commercial advertising, explanatory films, character-led campaigns and educational animation for businesses and public institutions. The studio began in 2006 as Studio Pixel, founded by Denis Simonov, and subsequently developed its current public brand.
Originally a boutique operation working in graphic design and commercial animation, PixToon expanded into an integrated production studio combining creative development, animation and post-production. Its capabilities encompass traditional and digital 2D animation, 3D computer animation, CGI, stop-motion, motion graphics and compositing. The studio also incorporates hybrid AI production into its animation workflows.
From concept to finished film
Projects can begin with creative concepts, scripts, character designs and storyboards, then progress through animation and finishing. For 3D work, the production process includes modeling, texturing, rigging, lighting and rendering. Video editing, color grading, sound design, voice-over recording and music composition complete the offering, supporting delivery for television, digital advertising and social platforms.
Character development is a recurring part of the studio's work. Alongside individual commercials and explainer videos, PixToon develops brand mascots and multi-episode visual universes for continuing marketing campaigns. This combines the design of recognizable characters with animation that can carry a brand's messages across multiple productions.
Commercial and public-interest work
The studio serves advertising and digital marketing clients across finance, healthcare, telecommunications, technology and energy, as well as international development organizations, government bodies and NGOs. Its output ranges from product and service explanations to institutional communication and social-awareness animation.
Commercial commissions sit alongside educational storytelling. This breadth connects the studio's animation and visual effects capabilities with projects intended to explain complex subjects, introduce services, develop brand identities or communicate public-interest messages.
