What Oddbot does

OddBot Inc. is a privately held, Emmy-winning and Annie-nominated full-service animation studio headquartered in Glendale, California, with 51-100 employees and a presence dating to 2006. The company produces both 3D and 2D animated content across episodic series, short-form content, music videos, commercials, trailers, and specialty projects, offering end-to-end capabilities from series development, storyboarding, and animatics through art direction, VFX compositing, casting, voice direction, sound design, and post-production.

The studio operates two distinct revenue streams. The first is B2B animation production services sold on a project basis to major entertainment buyers including Disney, Netflix, Nickelodeon, Max (HBO Max), Sesame Workshop, and Spin Master, with examples spanning Disney Junior's Muppet Babies, Nursery Rhymes (over 1 billion views), Lullabies, Ready for Preschool, and Wonderful World of Songs; Netflix's Action Pack; and Max's Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed. The second stream is OddBot Originals, a proprietary IP portfolio of adapted and original animated properties (Okay Witch, Cardboard Kingdom, Séance Tea Party, Steeplejack, Forest Friends, Beautiful Oops, MoonBeans, Kindergarten The Musical!) developed in partnership with publishers including Simon & Schuster, Penguin Random House, and Random House Children's Books, with licensing and royalty potential.

Oddbot's go-to-market is sales-led, relying on a professional portfolio website, direct client relationships, industry networking, and the visibility of completed work distributed across major streaming and broadcast platforms. No public pricing exists; contracts are negotiated per project. The studio's only disclosed AI application is an AI narrator in its MoonBeans original series, and no API, SDK, or platform infrastructure is offered — the business is fundamentally a creative production services and IP licensing operation rather than a technology company.
