About Robot Playground Media
Robot Playground Media is a Singapore-based animation, motion graphics and visual effects studio founded in 2013. Its work combines character-driven, Asian-inspired storytelling with production for domestic, regional and international audiences. The studio develops original intellectual property and produces commissioned content for film, television, digital channels and streaming platforms.
Its capabilities span 2D and 3D animation, CGI, character animation, visual development, concept art, motion design and visual effects. Production services extend from concept and story development through delivery, covering both short-form and long-form projects. Alongside entertainment productions, the studio creates commercial and branded animation for advertisers, corporate brands and government or cultural institutions.
Original stories and commissioned production
The studio's portfolio includes Mickey Go Local, Disney's first original animated short series originating from Southeast Asia. Released in 2019, the six-part production was directed by Bernard Toh for The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia. Its adult animated comedy Downstairs ran for three seasons and was licensed across Asia by Netflix.
Other productions include the animated anthology feature Timescapes, the SG50 historical short The Violin, A Short Walk and the Mediacorp series Heartland Hubby. Its work also encompasses the horror anthology A Banquet for Hungry Ghosts, based on Ying Compestine's novel, and branded projects such as Vogue Mystery Box with Vogue Singapore. The announced development slate includes Work-Life Balance: Malevolent Copy, a television adaptation of a Singapore comic book.
The studio also participates in international animation co-productions, including the 2026 wartime feature The Violinist. Its network and platform work includes projects for Disney Southeast Asia, Warner Bros. Discovery, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Mediacorp and Netflix.
Robot Playground Media remains independently owned and operated by its co-founders. A majority-stake transaction announced by 108 Media in 2022 did not complete.
