Relish Studios

Relish Studios is a Canadian multidisciplinary studio creating animation, games and digital experiences, with a particular focus on children’s and family entertainment. Founded in Toronto in 2007 by Paul Pattison and Sacha Raposo, the company brings storytelling, design and engineering together across its Digital, Games and Animation divisions. Its work spans commissioned entertainment, interactive learning, branded experiences and original intellectual property.

The business began as Relish Interactive Inc. and adopted the Relish Studios name in September 2022 following a reorganization of its operating divisions. The change reflected its expansion from an interactive agency into a producer working across multiple entertainment formats. Its development has included both internal growth and acquisitions, including the purchase of Costa Rican animation studio Rocket Cartoons in February 2020.

Animation and interactive production

Relish’s animation capabilities cover 2D and 3D character production, from script development, storyboarding and animatics through modeling, rigging, animation, lighting, compositing and post-production. Its portfolio includes animated content for toy and entertainment properties, including Mattel’s Barbie’s Dreamworld and Polly Pocket & Friends, Moose Toys’ Treasure X and Kindi Kids, and Marvel Battleworld content produced with Funko and Marvel.

Its games work encompasses native mobile applications, HTML5 web games and cross-platform interactive experiences. Projects range from educational games for children’s broadcasters to promotional games for consumer brands. Examples include games based on Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum, Cyberchase Duck Dash, the retro runner Haulers: Aisles of Glory, and Escape to Pil Country. Accessibility is an explicit part of its supported game-design capabilities.

Beyond individual productions, Relish offers product discovery, digital strategy, UI/UX architecture and design systems. Its combination of animation and software development supports projects that extend stories and characters across screens and formats. Original entertainment development includes the Weirdwood Manor universe and the animated feature project Shadowrail Circus, alongside commissioned work for broadcasters, entertainment companies, educational organizations and consumer brands.
