  • About Les Armateurs

    Les Armateurs is a French animated film and television series production company founded in 1994.

    With over 20 years of experience and four Oscar® nominations, Les Armateurs has had several theatrical hits (Kirikou and the Sorceress, 1998; The Triplets of Belleville, 2003; Ernest & Célestine, 2012; The Secret of Kells, 2019) and has established itself as one of France’s leading animated film production companies.

    Among the many series it has produced, T’choupi and Martine are now much beloved, and The Long Long Holiday has received universal public and critical acclaim.

    The company takes a stringent editorial approach, offering original and ambitious family-friendly auteur films. Each project is a labour of love that combines aesthetic flair and top-notch writing. Les Armateurs’ latest production, an adaptation of the politically charged novel The Swallows of Kabul, is no exception to the rule.

    Les Armateurs is currently developing a new major project called Runes, a daring original series featuring high-quality storytelling and graphics.
