About Rabbit Hole Animation

Rabbit Hole Animation is an independent character animation studio based in Antwerp, Belgium. Established in 2006, it creates 2D and 3D animation, motion graphics and commercial illustration for advertising, television, corporate communications and cultural projects. Its work spans commissioned campaigns, children's programming and original animated short films.

Character development and visual storytelling sit at the centre of its practice. The studio develops character concepts, storyboards and animatics alongside finished animation and graphic styles. Its capabilities extend from illustrated explainers and corporate videos to CGI and augmented reality animation assets, allowing it to work across different formats while maintaining a focus on expressive characters.

Commercial and institutional work

Rabbit Hole collaborates with advertising agencies, broadcasters, public institutions and commercial brands. Its portfolio includes campaigns for Aldi, DHL, Payconiq and ACM Insurance, alongside informational and awareness projects for Belgian public bodies. These include cyber safety animation for the Center for Cybersecurity Belgium and multiple spots addressing endocrine disruptors for the Federal Public Health Service.

Other assignments include animated seasonal visuals for Philharmonie Luxembourg, educational and promotional explainers for Universiteit Antwerpen, and promotional animation for Studio Brussel's Warmathon. The studio has also produced augmented reality animation assets for Code van Coppens, reflecting a range that extends beyond conventional television commercials.

Television and original films

For children's television, Rabbit Hole produced animated segments and character vignettes for seasons one and two of Tik Tak for VRT/Ketnet. Its original short-form work includes Toast, directed by Bram Van Rompaey, as well as Lunch Break, A Life Wasted, The Origin of Sound, Loophole and Border.

Together, its commissioned productions and independent shorts connect commercial storytelling with original character-led filmmaking.
