THE COMPANY
Amuse Animation is a digital-first and premium animation powerhouse founded in 2016 and headquartered in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, with a growing footprint in France and China. We specialize in two key areas: creating and incubating original IPs—developed in-house or in collaboration with top-tier toy and content creators; and high-quality service production for 2D and 3D animation.
Our slate features 33 self-funded preschool IPs, dubbed in 27 languages, racking up +600 million views every month. We’ve also launched 22 audio albums and 16 gaming apps, collectively downloaded over 20 million times.
/ WHAT DRIVES US?
Audience-Driven. Growth. Adaptability. Equality. Innovation. Authenticity. These values are at the heart of our culture and fuel everything we do—from the way we build stories to how we grow as a team.
/ WHAT’S OUR EDGE?
A digital-first, platform-native mindset. We independently create and launch our shows across global platforms such as YouTube, Amazon, Samsung TV Plus, El Reino Infantil and chinese platforms like Tencent and iQiyi, tapping into a massive worldwide audience and generating billions of views.
/ OUR SECRET SAUCE?
We’re obsessed with the audience. From concept to screen, we use tech and performance data to shape content that truly resonates. In today’s attention economy, where countless shows compete for watch time, we believe the most powerful creative ally is the viewer themselves. By staying agile, global, and tuned into real-time audience feedback, we maximize the potential of every project to become a meaningful, lasting brand.
