Rodeo FX acquired the Mikros Animation businesses<\/a> in both Montreal and Paris, along with their respective creative workforce in animated features and episodic content, preserving the world-class talent and creative legacy built over the years. Since then, Mikros Animation has been steadily rebuilding and repositioning itself for long-term success, laying the groundwork for a year of renewed momentum in 2026.<\/p>\n\u201cOur latest projects proved that ambition is what matters,\u201d said Julien Meesters, President of Mikros Animation. \u201cGreat animation isn\u2019t defined by the scale of the projects, it\u2019s about how bold your ideas can be and the passion behind it. The standards we set. Our goal is to bring stories and performances to life that resonate, be it for global or independent studios. Expanding our teams, our artistry, and our capabilities is the exact thing we need right now to make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
A key milestone and priority in this renewal is the evolution of Mikros Animation\u2019s global footprint. The studio has recently reopened its Bengaluru (Bangalore) facility, solidifying its core team by welcoming back nearly 50 of its former employees, led by Sivaraman ST, who has collaborated on numerous animated projects over the past few years. Mikros Animation is set to expand its presence in India this summer, with the ambition of growing teams, strengthening local leadership and reinforcing Bengaluru as a key creative hub within the studio\u2019s international ecosystem.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reopening of the Bangalore studio is deeply meaningful for us, both professionally and personally,\u201d said Sivaraman ST. \u201cWelcoming back familiar faces who have grown with the studio over the years feels like bringing a family back together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nicolas Delval, Head of Mikros Animation\u2019s Montreal Studio, commented, \u201cOur priority was always to be artist-driven. Keeping the people behind the magic together, continuing our creative journey, and safeguarding what we\u2019ve built was paramount. We have always considered our three locations as one single studio.\u201d<\/p>\n
As part of this new momentum, the Parisian Mikros Animation team is also entering a new phase with the move to brand-new offices on Rue Dieu in Paris, shared with its parent company, Rodeo FX. Designed to support the studio\u2019s continued growth, these new spaces offer more than 20,000 square feet of modern, purpose-built environments that encourage collaboration, creativity, and cross-studio synergy. By bringing Mikros Animation, the Advertising and the Film & Episodic teams of Rodeo FX Paris together under one roof in Paris, the move reinforces a shared vision and strengthens creative exchanges between animation and visual effects talents.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving Paris, Montreal and Bangalore working as one studio across nearly every time zone isn\u2019t just a logistical advantage, it\u2019s a creative one.\u201d noted Guillaume Maucomble, Head of Mikros Animation\u2019s Paris Studio. \u201cThat diversity pushes us towards even more ambitious projects.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sebastien Moreau, President & CEO of Rodeo FX, said, \u201cThis new chapter marks an exciting evolution for our teams on a global scale. Welcoming Mikros Animation into our shared spaces reflects the strength of our creative collaboration and our long-term commitment to building a unified, ambitious international network.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mikros Animation is now diving into major new projects, each one approached with a custom-designed creative strategy conceived with respect for the original IPs. This includes PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, the next installment in the popular kids\u2019 animation franchise, following the success of The Mighty Movie in 2023. As well as the sequel to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem movie with Paramount.<\/p>\n
Now part of Rodeo FX, Mikros Animation is embracing a more agile and visionary production model, building on a steady pipeline developed throughout the years for its feature and episodic clients, as well as the ability to tap into the technological innovations and support teams of the Rodeo FX group. An approach that, the studio points out, better reflects today\u2019s fast-evolving animation landscape and its abundance of ambitious stories, formats and collaborators.<\/p>\n
