What Studio Hari does

Studio Hari is a privately held French 3D animation studio founded in 2006 and headquartered in Normandy, France, with 51–100 employees. The studio specializes in the production of children's animated TV series and films, built on proprietary 3D animation technology and an in-house team of internationally recognized artistic and technical staff. Its core catalog includes the Grizzy & les Lemmings franchise (with active spin-offs Grizzy & les Lemmings World Tour and Bebe Lemmings), the Mystery Lane franchise (with the installment Mystery Lane Enquête Blanche), and La Famille Weasy, with several titles simultaneously on air and in production.

The studio monetizes primarily through two streams: (1) one-time licensing of its animated properties to broadcasters and streaming platforms worldwide, plus ongoing royalties from international distribution, and (2) direct-to-consumer merchandising through its Hari Shop e-commerce storefront, which sells branded merchandise for its franchises and ships internationally. Customer segments are broadcasters/streaming platforms (primary) and international distribution partners. Distribution is global, supported by a bilingual French/English web presence, established social channels on major platforms, and a warehouse operation (Le Super Atelier) in Bretteville-sur-Odon servicing international merchandise fulfillment.

Studio Hari describes itself as a "major player in the animation industry" with "multi-award-winning" productions and references internationally recognized expertise; it maintains dedicated recruitment and contact channels and operates under the trade names "Studio Hari" and "Hari Studios." No public listings, parent companies, institutional investors, or major funding events are disclosed in the available source material.

• Aardman Animations: Award-winning European animation studio producing globally distributed kids and family content. Comparable as a flagship indie animation brand with strong IP merchandising.
