Squarefish

Squarefish is a Belgian animation studio, motion design agency and audiovisual production company founded in Brussels in 2011. With a regional branch in the Paris metropolitan area, it combines commissioned communication work with the production and co-production of animated films, television series, shorts and documentaries.

The studio works across 2D animation, 3D CGI and motion design, supporting projects from early creative development through final post-production. Its capabilities include concept development, scriptwriting, character design, storyboarding, animatics and visual development, alongside animation, compositing, editing, title design, visual effects and color grading. This breadth allows Squarefish to contribute individual production disciplines or support projects across a wider production pipeline.

Motion design and communication

Its Motion Department creates bespoke animated content, institutional films and digital campaigns. The studio serves European institutions, public bodies, non-governmental organizations, cultural institutions, communication agencies and commercial brands. Reported clients include the European Parliament, European Commission and European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, alongside organizations working in culture, education and the non-profit sector. Its work also extends to documentary animation, museum installations and exhibition content.

Film and series production

The Production Department operates as an animation service provider, executive producer and creative co-producer. Squarefish participates in international productions and supports financing and co-production through the Belgian Tax Shelter system, working with partners in France, Denmark and elsewhere in Europe.

Its feature work includes Sirocco and the Kingdom of the Winds, for which it supplied 2D animation, clean-up, line testing and background coloring, and Monty & The Street Party, on which it provided 3D CGI animation services. The studio produced Julien Regnard’s short film The Night Watch with Autour de Minuit and has produced animated series including Lisa & Kolos, broadcast on Canal+, and Ante Chris, broadcast through RTBF Auvio and YouTube. Its development slate also includes feature and series projects, reflecting an ongoing role in originating productions as well as delivering animation services.
