Studio La Cachette

What Studio La Cachette does

Studio La Cachette is a Paris-based 2D animation studio founded in 2014 that operates as a B2B production services vendor for major Western and international entertainment buyers. The studio delivers end-to-end 2D animation across multiple formats — 90-minute features, episodic series (e.g., 10-episode/20-minute Unicorn: Warriors Eternal), short films (e.g., Love, Death and Robots 'Sucker of Souls'), pilots, opening sequences, and video-game trailers — covering genres from prehistoric action (Primal) to sci-fi (Star Wars: Visions Volume 2) and children's fantasy (Mune, Bea & Cad). Its named client base spans Netflix, Disney, HBO Max, Cartoon Network/Adult Swim, Ubisoft, Nickelodeon, Aardman Nathan Love, Titmouse, and Studio Mir, with work on Genndy Tartakovsky's Emmy-winning Primal serving as the studio's anchor award credential.

The business model is professional-services, project-based revenue earned through contracted animation production. The studio does not disclose pricing, retainers, or multi-year frameworks; each engagement is negotiated per project. Distribution is direct enterprise sales, supported by a portfolio website, Vimeo showreel, and Facebook/Twitter presence. Headcount sits in the 11-50 band with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors — the company appears independently held and organically financed.

Technology is defined narrowly as 2D animation craft — directing, animation, compositing, background and character design — with no AI, generative, or software-platform offering disclosed. Alongside commissioned services, the studio is actively developing owned/original IP, most notably the feature-length Kairos (directed by Ulysse Malassagne) and Mu Yi and the Handsome General (slated for 2026 delivery), signaling a strategic intent to evolve from pure services into IP ownership.
