Oscar B Studio

What Oscar B Studio does

Oscar B Studio is a French animation production studio founded in 2008 and operating through two SARL entities: oscar B studio, headquartered at 16 quai Jean-Baptiste Clément, 94140 Alfortville (Paris region), focused on 2D animation and motion design, and oscar B Lyon, a wholly-owned subsidiary at 117 Rue Masséna, 69006 Lyon, focused on 3D animation. The studio is co-managed by co-founders Olivier Dusart and Christophe Fleury, with Sébastien Dusart running the Lyon subsidiary and Thibaut Eymar as an associate across both studios. It produces animation content combining 2D digital animation, 3D CGI, stop motion (animation volume), motion capture integration, and FOOH (Fake Out of Home) augmented-reality-style advertising, delivered for TV commercials, documentary animations, animated series, short films, and institutional films.

The studio serves three primary customer segments: advertising agencies and brands (DDB, Makheia, Glory Paris, Prodigious on the agency side; Carrefour, Guerlain, Van Cleef & Arpels, Futuroscope, Thalys, Bayard on the brand side), broadcasters and producers (Arte, France 5, Planète), and institutional/government clients (Sécurité Routière, La Poste, Région Bretagne, Musée National de la Marine). Revenue is generated through project-based professional services commissions rather than subscription or product licensing; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by scope, duration, and complexity. Distribution is indirect: completed work reaches end audiences through the studio's clients via broadcast television, digital and social platforms (YouTube, Snapchat), cinema, and festivals.

The studio's competitive position rests on a 15+ year track record with prestige French and European clients, a teaching affiliation with Gobelins École de l'Image that functions as a talent and pipeline moat, and recurring multi-year production partnerships with documentary producers Pernel Media and Rosebud (notably on the Arte series 'Les Grands Mythes' at 10+ episodes per series). It operates with 1–10 total employees, has no disclosed external funding or parent company, and holds three industry awards including a 2010 Grand Prix Stratégies/Firstluxe.com and a 2010 World Road Safety Film Festival win.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• TeamTO: Leading French animation studio producing 2D and 3D series and features (e.g., Miraculous). Comparable as a French-headquartered studio offering 2D/3D production for broadcasters and brands, though much larger and series/IP-focused versus Oscar B's commercial/documentary focus.
• Xilam Animation: Paris-based animation studio producing 2D and 3D series (Oggy, Zig & Sharko). Comparable French animation pedigree with 2D/3D capability, but publicly listed and series/IP-led rather than commercial/documentary work.
• Mikros Animation: French animation and VFX studio (part of Technicolor) producing feature and episodic animation. Comparable for 3D animation production capability and French-base, but operates at significantly larger scale and serves film/series pipelines.
• Laika: US stop-motion and hybrid animation studio behind Coraline and Kubo. Comparable for premium hybrid/stop-motion animation on feature and brand projects, but operates in a different (feature film-led) segment and is much larger.

Direct peers

• Studio Hari: French animation and motion design studio producing commercials, music videos, and short films. Comparable in scale and creative offering (animation-driven advertising and music content), making it a direct peer for French agency briefs.
• Cube Creative Computer Images: Paris-region studio offering 2D/3D animation, motion design, and CGI for advertising and broadcast. Closely comparable in size, geography, and service mix (mixed-media animation for commercials and documentaries), making it the most direct French boutique competitor.
• Buck productions (FR): Paris-based motion design and animation studio producing commercials, music videos, and broadcast graphics. Directly comparable in scale, location, and motion-design/advertising offering.

Regional players

• Passion Pictures: Award-winning London-based studio producing animated documentaries, commercials, and short films. Closely comparable on the documentary-animation and high-end commercial side, but UK-based and with a much larger international footprint and brand portfolio.
• Blue Zoo Animation Studio: UK animation studio producing commercials, branded content, and children's series. Comparable in mixed-media animation for advertisers and broadcasters, but UK-based and more series-focused.

Emerging players

• BUCK: US-based design and animation studio producing commercials, branded content, and motion design. Comparable in motion design and mixed-media commercial animation, with a similar boutique studio profile but materially larger scale and global brand clients.
