Xilam Animation SAS
Xilam Animation SAS is a French animation studio established in 1999 by Marc du Pontavice and Alix de Maistre, dedicated to the creation, production, and global distribution of original animated series and feature films for diverse audiences. Headquartered in Paris, France, the company aims to solidify its position as a leading global animation champion by consistently delivering innovative and timeless programs.
The studio's extensive catalog features well-known brands such as "Oggy and the Cockroaches," "Zig & Sharko," "Where's Chicky?", "Mr Magoo," and "Karate Sheep," encompassing both 2D and CGI formats. Xilam's content reaches audiences worldwide through television broadcasts, subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon, as well as advertising video-on-demand (AVOD) platforms including YouTube and Facebook. In December 2025, Xilam further expanded its distribution by launching its own kid-safe streaming application, TOON BOX.
Under the leadership of CEO Marc du Pontavice, Xilam Animation has been recognized as France's top animation studio for the period of 2018-2023. While the company experienced a revenue decline in 2025 due to shifts in streaming platform strategies, it is strategically refocusing on proprietary productions, anticipating a return to growth in 2026 and further acceleration in 2027. Recent projects include the horror-comedy series "The Doomies" for Disney+ and the feature film "Lucy Lost," alongside the greenlighting of new seasons for its popular series "Zig & Sharko" in early 2026.
