About Rokyn Animation
Rokyn Animation is an independent Spanish animation studio and production company based in Granada, Andalusia. Established in 2015, it produces animation for television, feature films, advertising and institutional projects. Its work combines original productions and international co-productions with animation services for external studios and broadcasters.
The studio works across 3D CGI and handcrafted digital 2D animation, including limited animation. Its capabilities cover visual development, concept art, character design, modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, visual effects, lighting and rendering. This range supports projects from early creative development through completed animation, with separate 3D and 2D production pipelines.
Television and film
A major television project was Pobre Diablo (2023), for which Rokyn delivered the full animation production in partnership with Buendía Estudios. The production was HBO Max’s first adult animated original series in Europe. The studio also provided 3D animation services for Tadeo Jones 2: El secreto del Rey Midas, working for Lightbox Animation Studios.
Its production slate includes the preschool series Tiko Taiko, co-produced with Gallego Bros; the animated feature Lali Across the Multiverse, also known as Mudanza Dimensional, with The Mediapro Studio; and the hybrid 2D/3D feature Little Bastards, also referenced as Little Dictators. These projects sit alongside short-form work such as Estela, donde nadie llegó jamás, made in collaboration with Grupo ADM.
Commercial and specialist production
Beyond entertainment, Rokyn creates commercial animation, virtual sets and digital environments. Examples include prehistoric marine environments for Dinos, limited 2D animation for the documentary Granada 22, and Versailles-inspired virtual environments for an Al Jazeera Perfumes campaign. Its Nuestra Navidad work for Canal Sur and Grupo ADM demonstrates its handcrafted 2D approach across a series of Christmas shorts.
The company also offers international co-production and production support involving Spanish audiovisual tax incentives, serving partners across entertainment, advertising, education and scientific communication.
More about Rokyn Animation
Leadership and origins
- Manuel Sicilia Morales is identified as creative director and co-founder. The founding team also included executive producer Francesca Nicoll.
- The founders and team leads brought experience from Kandor Graphics, Sony and Zinkia. Awards and credits earned during those earlier careers should be distinguished from Rokyn's own work.
Production tools and operating model
The studio describes its proprietary RVC and Rokyn Studio software as supporting real-time production tracking, remote contributor integration and supervision across multi-studio pipelines. Its workspace is designed for up to 60 artists, supplemented by remote specialists; this is facility capacity rather than a staffing figure.
Training and industry participation
Rokyn co-directs two master's degree programmes in 3D animation with the University of Granada, connecting academic training with its artistic and technical talent pipeline. It is also a member of DIBOOS and ANCINE.
Recognition
The short film Estela, donde nadie llegó jamás won Best Animated Short at the 2025 Carmen Awards and qualified for the 41st Goya Awards. These distinctions concern the film. Its collaboration with the Escúzar particle accelerator project connects the production with scientific communication.
