Mondo TV Unveils New 3D CGI Studio

Mondo TV Iberoamerica has expanded its in-house production center Mondo TV Producciones Canarias with a new 3D CGI studio.

The strategic upgrade of offices and equipment will be accompanied by a recruitment drive that will target experienced illustrators and animators. The new facility, which will be up and running in September, is already negotiating a contract for its first project.

The expansion will allow Mondo TV Producciones Canarias, which was launched in 2016, to offer a more comprehensive animation and co-production service, adding 3D CGI to its 2D and pre-production services. In addition, extending the capabilities of the production center offering will enable Mondo TV to generate more new IPs in-house.

Mondo TV Canarias, located in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, has taken on pre-production services and complete visual development for multiple animated series, starting with Invention Story and including MeteoHeroes and Robot Trains 3. It has also built a roster of IPs through strategic co-productions such as the comedy Bat Pat 2 with RTVE and Nina & Olga with Enanimation.

Matteo Corradi, president and CEO of Mondo TV Group, said: “This development is the realization of my father Orlando Corradi’s dream—and a giant step forward for the Mondo TV Group. The launch of an internal facility for 3D CGI animation will enhance both the quantity and quality of Mondo TV Group output and further boost the international reputation of Mondo TV among producers of animated programming. We will, of course, continue to collaborate with the third-party studios that have distinguished themselves in recent years, but with our own animation studio, we will move towards a future where in-house excellence will be a driving force. In fact, thanks to the even tighter and closer quality control this new facility will enable, we will be able to create our top programs entirely in-house.”

Maria Bonaria Fois, CEO of Mondo TV Iberoamerica, added: “This strategic decision is a big step for the entire Group. We are proud of the results achieved by the Canarian studio since its very beginning, and confident that the new 3D studio will bring us even more recognition on the international animation market.”
