About Treehouse Republic
Treehouse Republic is an independent animation studio based in Dublin, Ireland, developing original intellectual property and producing 2D animation for television, streaming, advertising and educational media. Established in 2010, its creative focus includes character-driven action and comedy, with influences drawn from classic Saturday morning cartoons. Its work spans pre-school entertainment, bridge audiences and youth programming.
The studio provides production from initial concept through final delivery. Its capabilities encompass script development, visual development, character and background design, storyboarding, animatics, layout, digital rigging, animation and post-production. Alongside complete productions, it offers animation servicing and pipeline integration for partners, adapting its contribution to the requirements of individual projects. The report credits the studio with producing more than 2,100 minutes of animated broadcast and commercial content.
Original series and international production

Treehouse Republic collaborates with European and North American partners, combining creative development and production services with Irish production financing structures, including Section 481 film and television tax relief.
Its series work includes Hey Fuzzy Yellow!, a pre-school edutainment production; Atom Town, an educational comedy introducing chemistry and the Periodic Table; and Hungry Bear Tales, a slapstick comedy series. Other projects include the pre-school comedy Cozmo & Friends!, the hurling-centered youth series Ballybraddan, and the spooky comedy Mortina. Its development slate also includes Dandelion, I've Got a Time Travelling Monkey on My Back and Slaps and Sandbags, reflecting its continued interest in comic characters and animated storytelling.
Commercial and educational work
Beyond episodic entertainment, Treehouse Republic produces branded campaigns, television commercials, digital explainers, public-information animation and e-learning content. This work includes national informational campaigns for JWT Folk and An Post, alongside projects for commercial and educational clients. Its broadcast and commissioning relationships include RTÉ, RTÉjr, BBC, Disney, Nickelodeon and Mattel, connecting its original development and production services with children's entertainment and wider communications work.
