View on Grokipediafrom Grokipedia
Yearim Productions Co., Ltd. is a full-service 2D animation studio based in Seoul, South Korea, with a satellite office in Los Angeles, California, specializing in television animation, commercials, shorts, and digital ink-and-paint techniques using software like Toon Boom Harmony.[1] Founded in 1991, the company has established itself as a key overseas partner for major U.S. animation producers, providing production services for a wide range of animated content.[1]
The studio's portfolio includes contributions to prominent series and films from leading networks and studios, such as 20th Television, Netflix, Walt Disney Animation, Warner Bros. Animation, Apple TV+, Nickelodeon, and Sony Pictures Animation.[1] Notable projects encompass animation services for Family Guy (overseas production), Big Mouth (overseas animation production), The Looney Tunes Show (animation services for specific segments), New Looney Tunes (animation department roles), and recent series like Kiff (2023–present) and Angry Birds Mystery Island (2024).[2][1][3] Additional credits include work on Tom and Jerry specials like Tom and Jerry: Spy Quest.[2] Yearim's team of directors, animators, layout supervisors, and artists focuses on high-quality 2D output, blending traditional and digital methods to support global streaming and broadcast content.[1]
These projects demonstrate Yearim's versatility in supporting both episodic storytelling and character-driven humor, often handling labor-intensive animation tasks to meet tight broadcast schedules.[2]
Yearim's heavy involvement in the Tom and Jerry franchise spans eight films from 2006 to 2015, establishing the studio as a key partner for Warner Bros. in delivering consistent visual style and dynamic chase sequences across these releases.[4] This body of work highlights Yearim's application of 2D animation expertise to maintain the classic slapstick energy of the characters in standalone film formats.
History
Founding and early development
Yearim Productions was established in 1991 by Korean entrepreneurs in Seoul, with the primary goal of developing domestic capabilities in 2D animation production.[4] The studio emerged during a period of growing interest in animation within South Korea, where the industry was expanding to meet both local demand and emerging opportunities in digital techniques. Initial efforts centered on creating infrastructure for high-quality 2D work, positioning Yearim as a contributor to the nation's burgeoning animation sector.[5] Yearim's early international involvement began in 1997 with overseas production services for the American series Channel Umptee-3.[6] This entry into the global market represented a pivotal evolution, enabling Yearim to apply its 2D animation strengths to larger-scale Western productions. Key early partnerships included outsourcing arrangements with Film Roman and Sony Columbia TriStar, through which Yearim provided specialized animation services for U.S.-based television content, such as co-production on Dragon Tales from 1999 to 2005.[5] These collaborations, centered in Seoul, helped establish the studio's reputation for reliable digital 2D delivery in international pipelines.Expansion and milestones
Yearim Productions expanded its global footprint by establishing a satellite office in Los Angeles, California, to streamline coordination with major U.S.-based clients in the animation industry.[7] This strategic move coincided with the studio securing key production partnerships, including long-term animation services for Fox Entertainment (now under 20th Television Animation) and Warner Bros. Television Animation beginning in the early 2000s.[8][9] For instance, Yearim contributed to overseas animation production for the Fox series American Dad!, marking a significant milestone in its transition to high-volume work on American television projects.[9] By the early 2010s, the studio had contributed to multiple seasons of ongoing series for these clients, demonstrating sustained growth in capacity and expertise.[9] Yearim's workforce and technological capabilities evolved considerably during this period, evolving from a modest Seoul-based operation focused on basic 2D services to a comprehensive studio equipped for efficient, large-scale digital animation pipelines.[7] This expansion enabled the production of animation for dozens of episodes annually across international collaborations, with notable involvement in award-nominated projects like American Dad!, where the studio's overseas detailing and coloring processes supported the series' consistent visual style and timely delivery.[8]Company Profile
Headquarters and facilities
Yearim Productions Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, at 2-501, IT Castle, 98 Gasan Digital 2-ro, Geumcheon-gu, where it has served as the primary production hub since its founding in 1991.[1][10] The Seoul facility functions as the core operational center, supporting a complete 2D animation workflow that encompasses key stages such as storyboarding, in-betweening, and compositing for outsourced projects.[1] The company maintains a satellite office in Los Angeles, California, United States, primarily dedicated to client liaison activities and oversight of post-production processes to facilitate collaboration with international partners.[1] This setup enables efficient coordination between the Seoul-based production team and global clients, including major studios like Disney, Warner Bros., and Netflix.[1] As a limited company structured around outsourced animation services, Yearim emphasizes streamlined operations to deliver high-quality 2D content for television series and films, leveraging its Seoul infrastructure for the bulk of creative and technical execution.[10]Services and expertise
Yearim Productions specializes in full-service 2D animation production, employing a combination of traditional hand-drawn methods and modern digital techniques to deliver content for television series and films. The studio maintains a team of experienced directors, animators, layout supervisors, and artists capable of handling the full spectrum of production demands, from initial concepts to final outputs.[1] These capabilities enable efficient production of animation assets, optimizing workflows for overseas delivery while preserving creative intent.[1] The studio primarily serves U.S.-based clients, including major networks and production houses like Warner Bros. Animation, Disney Television Animation, and 20th Television Animation. This focus on subcontracted animation for American projects allows Yearim to contribute to high-volume series without leading creative development.[1] Leveraging digital tools such as Toon Boom Harmony for full digital 2D workflows and digital ink-and-paint techniques, Yearim streamlines 2D animation production to support rapid turnaround and high output. This technological approach facilitates cost-effective production for international partners, emphasizing quality and consistency in overseas execution.[1][11]Filmography
