Zodiak Kids Studios (formerly known as Marathon Media, Marathon Animation, Marathon Productions or Marathon Media Group) is a worldwide French television production company based in Neuilly-sur-Seine. The company was originally founded by Olivier Brémond and Pascal Breton in February 1990, and Vincent Chalvon-Demersay joined the team in 1999 to develop Marathon's animation programming, along with David Michel.[1] The company was best known for the animated series Totally Spies! and Martin Mystery.
Marathon was acquired by Zodiak Media in 2008. In February 2016, Zodiak Media merged with the Banijay Group,[2] and Marathon was folded in the process.
