deadline.com:

Montreal-based VFX firm Rodeo FX, the visual effects credits of which include Games of Thrones, Stranger Things, The Rings of Power, John Wick: Chapter 4 and Dune, has acquired former Technicolor Group subsidiary Mikros Animation.

Mikros Animation was among four France-based Technicolor Group subsidiaries alongside MPC, The Mill and Technicolor Animations placed in receivership following the collapse of parent group at the end of February.

The Paris Commercial Court was due to deliver its decision on offers for all the subsidiaries on Thursday. With past credits including PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie, Orion and the Dark, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, VFX, post-production and animation company Mikros Animation was widely regarded as a hot property. “This is a deeply meaningful moment for me and for all of us at Rodeo FX,” said Sebastien Moreau, Founder & CEO of Rodeo FX. “Welcoming Mikros Animation into our creative family isn’t just about growth, it’s about aligning with people who share our values, our passion for storytelling, and our belief in the magic of animation.

Together, we’re building something that goes beyond business: a creative home where artists can dream bigger, push further, and inspire the world.” Mikros Animation has worked on 17 feature-length animated films and numerous episodic series for some of the world’s top animation studios, including Paramount Animation, Netflix, and DreamWorks Animation.
