TeamTO expands with new studio

Angelo Rules animation house TeamTO is to open a new 11,000sq ft facility.

The new production base, in Bourg-lès-Valence in the south of France, will initially house around 150 animators, rising to 220 ­ or 60% of the firm’s entire roster – by the end of the year.

Paris-based TeamTO is best known for shows such as Angelo Rules, Canal+’s My Knight and Me and Plankton Invasion. It also has an LA studio that works with American talent and works with the US studios.

“The new facilities are at the forefront of technology, providing our animators with an extremely rare level of ergonomic work conditions,” said TeamTO founder and president Guillaume Helouin. “It has everything imaginable to attract and develop the talent which will be at the heart of our series and films.”
