Netflix Animation is an American animation studio subsidiary of Netflix. The studio primarily produces and develops animated programs and feature films.
History
When Netflix began to produce original animated content in 2013, all of them were produced by third-party companies, mostly DreamWorks Animation Television. However, in November 2018, it was announced that Netflix was developing original animated projects in-house including Kid Cosmic and The Willoughbys.[1]
