Projects
Octonauts playmation shorts
Netflix approached us to create 3 shot for shot recreations of clips from their hit title Octonauts. All sets were created from scratch to match the show, with only figures and a few vehicles being provided by Netflix. Above you’ll find a mashup video of all three clips on the Netflix Jr. YouTube channel. The three shorts have received over 2 million views to date.
“Ultraluminary” for Netflix
This exciting project was a shot for shot recreation of the bright and colorful musical sequence “Ultraluminary” from the Netflix original animated movie Over the Moon. Our team recreated all the sets and other characters from scratch, with only the two official Mattel dolls for Fei Fei and Chang’e being provided by Netflix.
Spirit Riding Free playmation shorts
We began working with DreamWorks Animation in 2017 to create shorts to advertise the various toy lines of the popular Netflix original series, Spirit Riding Free. So far, we have created more than 10 shorts which have garnered 5 million views worldwide, and have also been dubbed in other languages for international distribution.
Jurassic World playmation shorts
We began working with NBC Universal on shorts to advertise upcoming Mattel, LEGO, and Imaginext toy releases for Jurassic World in 2019. We have completed multiple shorts which have garnered more than 3.7 million views worldwide, and have also been dubbed into three other languages for international distribution.
The Happy Family Show
Playmation Studios began with the passion project that was The Happy Family Show. Co-created by the founder and her brother, they pioneered the playmation technique and discovered how well-received it was among children. Many other YouTube channels began copying the style, though Playmation Studios was the first to do it professionally.
