BES Animation is a wholly owned Australian company formed in 2007 by Executive Producer Bruce Kane and Creative Director Maurice Argiro with the express purpose of creating top level 2D animation and original stories for local and international audiences. Based in Melbourne, BES has grown from a two-man team to a 35-person operation all working from home.
BES is proudly a creator-driven studio with the ability to originate content and realise projects through all stages of production. The philosophy of the company is simple … create, nurture and develop great ideas for the world… It’s a lofty ideal but it’s working.
BES produced a feature length telemovie for Cartoon Network - EXCHANGE STUDENT ZERO - that screened to 25 million plus viewers. On the strength of this, Cartoon Network commissioned a 13 x 22 minute series in 2015.
BES’s second feature length telemovie with Cartoon Network - MONSTER BEACH - debuted to 40 million viewers in the APAC region alone. It was the highest rating program in its timeslot on Australian Pay TV and in multiple regions across the Asia Pacific region.
In 2016, BES Animation teamed up with Rubberhouse studios to produce GINGER SNAPS – an adult animated web series for Warner Brothers / ABC (America) / Blue Ribbon Content. All design, animation and post-production took place at BES.
BES worked on the MONSTER BEACH TV series for Cartoon Network in 2019.
Currently we are working on the 3rd Season of the award winning KITTY IS NOT A CAT commissioned by Network Seven for 26 x 12 minute episodes to be delivered at the end of 2020. Teaming up with Jetpack Distribution, KITTY IS NOT A CAT has sold to broadcasters across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Israel and Asia Pacific.
BES are represented at all the key international animation markets and festivals and have strong and ongoing relationships with a wide variety of broadcasters, distributors, licensees, writers, content creators and production studios globally.
