What DeAPlaneta Entertainment does

DeAPlaneta Entertainment (legal entity DEAPLANETA SL, C.I.F. B62490461) is a Barcelona-headquartered private entertainment production and distribution group operating across European markets since its 1999 founding. The company is structured around three explicit divisions: DeAPlaneta Fiction, which produces and distributes theatrical and television film and TV content and holds a catalogue that includes box office successes and Oscar-winning films; DeAPlaneta Kids & Family, which produces and distributes animated series for the kids and family segment alongside derived rights including digital experiences, online content, and physical merchandise; and DeAPlaneta Interactive, which extends the group's intellectual properties into gaming and interactive formats. The Kids & Family division is described by the company as the European leader in entertainment for kids and families.

The company's go-to-market is B2B and sales-led, executed through owned distribution offices in Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Eastern Europe — giving it direct, localized reach into at least six European territories without depending on third-party distributors for core markets. Revenue is generated through one-time content licensing deals (theatrical and television) and licensing/royalty arrangements (animated series and derived rights), with the Interactive division exploring integration of digital gaming experiences with physical merchandise. Distribution channels are direct relationships with cinema chains, broadcasters, and licensing partners, and the Interactive division signals a forward intent to build gaming revenue streams adjacent to the existing catalogue. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated on a per-project basis.

With a headcount of 61 employees and no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, parent entity, or executive leadership details, DeAPlaneta Entertainment is a private, independently operated mid-sized entertainment distribution group. Its customers are enterprise buyers — theatrical exhibitors, television broadcasters, and merchandise/digital licensing partners — and its Kids & Family division additionally targets consumer-facing merchandise and digital platform distribution. The "Crafting Emotions" corporate positioning and multi-territory office footprint indicate a strategy that emphasizes pan-European reach and IP exploitation across content formats rather than technology-platform scale.
