About Tomavision
Tomavision is an independent animation production studio based in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Barcelona, Spain. Its work spans traditional hand-drawn animation, digital cut-out production and 3D CGI for television, streaming platforms, feature films and short-form projects. The studio combines original intellectual property development with international co-production and animation services for other producers.
Founded in Barcelona in 2001 under the trade name Tomavistas, the business developed original productions including Ask Lara and Water Path for a Fish. Its Barcelona corporate entity was incorporated in 2010, followed by the establishment of its Tenerife production hub in 2017. This expansion added substantial production facilities while retaining Barcelona's role in creative development, financing and co-production agreements.
From development to delivery
The studio supports projects from early concepts and scripts through pre-production, animation and finishing. Development work includes pitch bibles, treatments, adaptations and scriptwriting. Pre-production covers character and background design, visual development, storyboards, animatics and layout, alongside modeling, texturing, rigging and shading for CGI projects. Production and finishing capabilities include character animation, clean-up, digital ink and paint, lighting, visual effects, compositing and rendering.
Its portfolio encompasses preschool entertainment, children's educational programming, tween comedy-drama and adult animation. Service credits include Space Jam: A New Legacy, Merry Little Batman and The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie. Television work includes The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy, Lyla in the Loop, Alma's Way and Dora: Say Hola to Adventure!. These projects reflect a production mix spanning hand-drawn character work, digital episodic animation and CGI services.
Alongside production execution, Tomavision offers financial structuring, cash-flow management and executive production support for international projects using Canary Islands audiovisual incentives. Its operating model brings together development, co-production arrangements and full animation production, allowing partners to engage the studio at different stages of a project rather than solely for a single animation discipline.
