Gaumont Animation
Gaumont Animation (formerly known as Alphanim) is a French animation studio. It was acquired by Gaumont Film Company in 2008 as a return to television production, and an entry into English-language productions, after Gaumont Television was sold in 1999. It was rebranded as Gaumont Animation in 2013. The company's animated catalog comprises over 800 half-hours, broadcast in over 130 countries.
