About Studio Bozzetto
Studio Bozzetto is an Italian animation and production studio working across children’s television, commercial advertising and interactive media. Operating commercially as Studio Bozzetto & Co., it combines 2D animation, 3D and CGI production with character design and storytelling for entertainment, brands and institutional communication. Its production activities span concept development, pre-production, animation and post-production, alongside the development of original intellectual property.
The studio’s heritage begins with Bruno Bozzetto Film, established in Milan by Bruno Bozzetto in 1960. That historical studio produced animated features including West & Soda, Vip – My Brother Superman and Allegro non troppo, as well as the Signor Rossi character and associated productions. The original entity ceased operations in 2000. Bruno Bozzetto, Andrea Bozzetto and Pietro Pinetti relaunched the enterprise in 2007 through the incorporation of the current operating company, carrying its animation tradition into contemporary television and digital production.
Television and original productions
The current studio’s television work includes the CGI preschool series Tip the Mouse, known in Italy as Topo Tip, which has been broadcast in more than 100 countries. Its related productions include musical projects featuring Carolina Benvenga. Studio Bozzetto also co-produced The Game Catchers with Sphere Animation and Rai Kids, reaching audiences through broadcasters including BBC’s CBeebies. Other productions include the preschool musical series Maestro Lorenzo, the short film Sapiens? and Pino & Shinoby.
Commercial and interactive work
Beyond episodic entertainment, the studio produces animated commercials for broadcast and digital campaigns, brand mascots, motion graphics and corporate or institutional films. Its capabilities extend to asset modeling and rigging, compositing, augmented reality, mobile applications, games and video mapping installations. The research identifies work serving cultural and heritage institutions, healthcare and educational organizations, as well as advertising agencies and television networks.
With a production presence in Milan and Bergamo, Studio Bozzetto remains independent and participates in the ForFun Media animation network.
