Princess Bento Studio

Princess Bento Studio is an Australian animation production company focused on prime-time and adult 2D television, shorts, and streaming projects for international audiences. Established in 2020 as a joint venture between Princess Pictures and Bento Box Entertainment, it develops and delivers animation for broadcast, subscription streaming, and co-production partners.

The studio works across the 2D production pipeline, from development and storyboarding through design, animation, scene assembly, visual effects, compositing, and post-production. Its production approach combines Toon Boom Harmony rigged animation with traditional hand-drawn character animation, supported by character and prop design, background art, technical rigging, layout, and retake work.
