About Us

ON Animation Studio is taking a journey into the land of creativity and infinite possibilities...into the Playmobil Universe!  Lino diSalvo (Frozen, Tangled) is directing our next exciting CG feature film adventure.

Since 2013, ON Animation Studio has produced, developed and created the pipeline and tools used on the films “The Little Prince” (winner of the 2016 César for Best Animated Film) and “Mune”, at Mikros Image Canada's facilities in Montreal. In 2016, we embarked on yet another adventure - operating as a full-fledged independent CG studio in the heart of downtown Montreal, with the commission of a brand new 25.000 sq ft facility!

If you’re a team player with a passion for the quality of your work (and having fun while doing it!) then we definitely want to hear from you.  Our team is world class and we're growing!
