​Puppeteer Studios is a world-class 3D animation studio based in the Philippines. We create full-production 3D animation for films, AAA games, TV, and commercials — trusted by global partners like Netflix, LEGO, and Warner Bros. What started in a bedroom is now a 60-artist studio led by veterans and rising stars — artists from all across both the animation and video games industries, who’ve helped bring to life some of the biggest names in entertainment. Our strength is rooted in collaboration — not handoffs. From concept to delivery, artists, directors, and producers work side by side, pushing visuals, technology, and story together. We are now pulling the strings on our own original IPs — bringing Filipino artistry to the global stage with the same care and curiosity we bring to every frame.
