Studio 100 Animation SAS is a French animation studio based inParis and it is a subsidiary of the BelgianStudio 100group, the studio specialises in producing TV series and films for children and families.
When parent companyStudio 100 acquiredEM.Sport Media AG's German entertainment division EM.Entertainment and its library along with the latter's Australian entertainment & animation production studioFlying Bark Productions and their German television channelJuniorTV (which Studio 100 would eventually close in 2022) for €41 million on May 30 2008 one year before the launch of Studio 100 Animation, it expanded Studio 100's children's entertainment library with Studio 100 taken over EM.Entertainment's Australian entertainment and animation production studio as their own in-house animation production studio outside of Belgium along with EM.Entertainment's distribution library including Yoram Gross's animated productions the library of Japanese animation studioZuiyo which had them placed under Studio 100's global distribution division Studio 100 Media. Following Studio 100's acquisition of the EM.Entertainment library, they wanted to capitalize on their acquired EM.Entertainment's classic property as their new properties by announcing that they're adapting new versions of old classics likeMaya the Bee andVic the Viking for the new generation.[1] Therefore on February 12 2009, Studio 100 announced the founding of their new fully owned in-house animation studio based in Paris, France outside of their parent company's origin of Belgium in order for them to launch their new adaptations of their acquired classic properties such asMaya the Bee andVic the Viking alongside producing their own original animation productions named Studio 100 Animation and was chosen over a Belgian one, because the animation industry in France is subsidised and therefore it was more cost-effective to produce them in France with Studio 100 Animation hiring Jo Harris to head Studio 100's in-house French animation division.[2][3]
In 2012, Studio 100 Animation opened a Licensing and Merchandising office in Paris in order to manage their properties in France.[citation needed]
