What do you think — is the final concept the right one? Or do you see something in the earlier versions that feels even stronger?

If AI ever takes over the world - preschool content should be the last fortress.

Update from Metaxilasis
We’re jumping into the AI debate.

Yes, we use GPT and other AI tools. We have our own developments. We aim to be a tech-driven studio. And we keep costs lower than many European studios while delivering top-tier quality.

But here’s our line in the sand: When it comes to preschool content, everything is made by hand. No AI-generated backgrounds. No AI-generated characters. No AI-generated voices or sounds.

AI stays far outside the fence of our creative process, it only helps with management. Because for our youngest audiences, we believe every story should carry the warmth of human hands, hearts, and words.

We decided to create a special mark that says: this episode or film was made by human hands. Here it is! It looks like a clay pot: simple, timeless, and a reminder of where creativity began. And if you don’t see it in our films… well, you know.

Made by hand is the new organic. And we believe it’s an added value in today’s world.

What do you think? Producers, artists, where do you draw the line?

We've been thinking about what's next for ThinkerBen and Motor.
With the rapid development of AI, the possibilities for expanding our project are growing every day.

While the series itself is entirely handcrafted — as we strongly believe this is essential for preschool content — we're now exploring new ways to produce additional materials using AI technologies.

Here's a short experiment.

🎨 Backgrounds from Princess Playtime
Sometimes the simplest projects are the most stylish.

Here’s a peek at the background art we created for Princess Playtime - a bright, playful world built with love and attention to every detail.

Big kudos to our art team for creating something that feels fresh, modern, and truly magical - even with a minimalist setup.

Friends, colleagues, partners!

Our studio wishes you a Happy International Women’s Day!

In our team, there is no room for outdated prejudices — we stomp them out and reject any notion that a person’s role in society should be defined by gender. We believe in equality and know that only by working together, as one unstoppable force, we сan create amazing stories, incredible animation, stunning backgrounds, and flawless production plans!

Through our cartoons, we show kids that they can be anything — engineers, artists, scientists, astronauts. No limits!

We are proud to stand together, recognizing the struggles women have faced and honoring their fight for rights. And if someone dares to say that a woman must do something just because she’s a woman — we will boldly tell them to think again! Because our cartoons are made by both women and men, working side by side as equals.

We celebrate you! Create, live, thrive, and enjoy your work!
You are amazing! We love you! Go out there and kick ass!
