About TeamTO
TeamTO is a French animation production studio founded in 2005 by Guillaume Hellouin, Corinne Kouper, and Caroline Souris. Its work spans original animated series, feature films, international co-productions, and animation services for broadcasters, streaming platforms, and entertainment companies. CGI production for children and families forms a central part of its portfolio, alongside an expanding interest in animation for teen and adult audiences.
The studio combines original intellectual property development with production work for external partners. Its original productions and co-productions include Angelo Rules, Mighty Mike, Jade Armor, Presto! School of Magic, My Knight and Me, and Oscar’s Oasis. Its feature work includes Yellowbird, released in 2014. These projects sit alongside productions developed for television, streaming, and theatrical distribution.
Production capabilities
TeamTO offers an integrated production process covering visual development, character design, storyboarding, modeling, rigging, layout, animation, look development, lighting, and compositing. Its services extend from creative pre-production through finished animation, with additional capabilities in software and production pipeline development. The company describes its production model as keeping animation work in France through its Paris and Bourg-lès-Valence production hubs.
For third-party productions, TeamTO has supplied animation for PJ Masks, Ricky Zoom, Skylanders Academy, City of Ghosts, and The Creature Cases. Its wider service portfolio includes Disney’s Sofia the First and Elena of Avalor, as well as Rabbids Invasion and Dew Drop Diaries. This combination of commissioned work and original development supports relationships with international studios and distribution partners.
Recent development
Following court-supervised restructuring in 2024, TeamTO’s operations continued under RIVA Studios ownership after an acquisition approved in December that year. The studio subsequently broadened its creative activities with TeamTOKO, an anime-inspired production division launched in early 2026. The division targets teen and adult audiences, with an in-development slate including Akira’s Flying Wheelchair and Shadow Soccer, extending the studio’s activities beyond its established children’s and family productions.
