History

L'Atelier Animation was formed in 2012 as a partnership between Laurent Zeitoun and Yann Zenou to produce the film Ballerina.[1] In early 2017, L'Atelier announced plans to make Fireheart, a film set in the 1920s New York City that tells the story of a 16-year-old girl who becomes a hero to save her city.[2] The company also makes the animated series Robozuna, which airs on ITV and Netflix.[3] In 2022, L'Atelier was acquired by Cinesite.[4]
