Premise Entertainment

Premise Entertainment is an independent animation, visual development and multimedia production studio based in Orlando, Florida. Established in 2001, it creates character-driven entertainment for family audiences through traditional hand-drawn animation, paperless digital production and CG animation. Its work spans feature films, television, advertising, themed entertainment and original storytelling.

The studio supports projects from early narrative development through finished animation. Its capabilities include script development and consulting, character and environment design, visual development, storyboarding, animatics, layout, animation, digital ink and paint, compositing and organic 2D effects. It also provides production coordination and pre-production support for live-action and mixed-media work, with sound design and scoring partnerships extending its production offering.

Animation production

Premise contributed clean-up animation, digital ink and paint, and organic visual effects to Walt Disney Animation Studios’ The Princess and the Frog. Other work includes animation services for Goofy’s How to Hook Up Your Home Theater and traditional 2D animation for the John Lewis commercial The Bear and the Hare, undertaken in partnership with director Aaron Blaise. These projects reflect the studio’s continuing emphasis on classical animation alongside digital production methods.

The company has also collaborated with the Jesus Film Project on the animated shorts Chosen Witness and Legion, followed by production of the animated feature Jesus. The supplied research identifies the feature as forthcoming, alongside ongoing work on the studio’s original productions.

Original storytelling

Alongside commissioned productions, Premise develops its own family-oriented intellectual property. Its pantomime animated project My Neighbor, written and directed by Dominic Carola and distributed through Angel Studios, explores kindness through visual storytelling. Its original development work also includes BEING.

Beyond screen production, the company’s activities encompass illustrated children’s literature, short-form digital content and animation education. This broader creative practice connects its animation work with publishing, artistic training and the development of stories for different formats and audiences.
