Animated Feature Film Production: A Cinematic Journey

We don’t just produce animated films. We build a worlds.

An animated feature film takes shape over several years, through writing, financing and production. Troublemakers Originals supports these ambitious projects with the same level of commitment and standards as a live-action feature film.

We produce animated films for audiences of all ages, destined for theatrical release and their festival life, in France and internationally.

A Production Structure Built for the Long Term

An animated feature film is more than a production timeline. It is a project that develops over time: successive rewrites, visual research, technical tests and complex financing structures. Troublemakers Originals supports every stage with patience and rigour.

We work alongside screenwriters, directors and art directors to build coherent worlds capable of carrying the story throughout an entire feature film.

From Writing to Financing, a Tailored Approach

Every animated feature film requires a specific financing structure, combining public funding — including the CNC, regional funds and Eurimages — with co-productions, pre-sales and distributors. Troublemakers Originals supports this process from the earliest stages of development, working closely with industry partners.

The development phase can span several years: visual bibles, screenplay development and a full animatic of the film, before moving into production.

From Production to Theatrical Release

Once financing is secured, production brings together large teams across multiple disciplines: storyboarding, layout, animation, backgrounds, compositing and sound. Troublemakers Originals oversees this entire production pipeline, in France and, when required, with international partner studios.

Once production is complete, we support the film through its theatrical release and festival run, followed by television and streaming distribution.
