Animation

The Philippines has been a major producer of animation for the North American, European and Japanese markets since the 1980s with major projects completed for Hanna Barbera, Disney, Warner Bros, Nelvana, Toei Japan and many other internationally recognized producers of animated features worldwide. A sustained, strong track record and a reputation for creativity in animation – and the benefits of English proficiency, a western sense of humor, and varied cultural exposure – make Filipinos the preferred choice for the world's animation requirements.

The industry is well prepared for rapid growth. For instance, in response to fast-growing demand for 3D animation, Philippine schools and training centers around the country have increased their capacity for educating and developing enthusiastic young animators as well as preparing established 2D animators to transition to 3D. Training is performed using industry-leading software applications such as Maya, XSI & USAnimation.

Filipinos are also beginning to develop original content animation for global markets. Their wealth of experience in the production of animation and rich cultural background have fostered the industry’s capacity for generating innovative concepts, cutting-edge design, and world-class quality. This has led to a surge in interest among Philippine animation companies in co-producing international content with established global partners.
