Mighty animation (styled by the company as "mighty animation") is a Mexican animation studio based in Guadalajara, Mexico. It mainly specializes in 2D & CG animation, storyboarding, and designing for projects from major global brands such as Disney, Adult Swim, Netflix, and Nickelodeon.
History
[edit]Mighty animation was founded in 2012 in Guadalajara, Mexico by Luispa Salmon and Claudio Jimenez. In its early years, it mainly worked on advertisements and short films. Conejo en la Luna, which was co-produced with Canal 22, received an Ariel Award nomination.[1]
During the 2017 Pixelatl festival in Cuernavaca, the company greenlighted Viking Tales (Vikingos in Spanish), a series of animated shorts produced by the studio in co-production of Cartoon Network's Latin American branch.[2][3][4]
One of Mighty's inspiration comes from the tapestry weaving art.[1]
