Founded by Hanna Mouchez in 2016, MIAM! animation has a keen appetite for quality content that kids, adults and the entire family can share.
MIAM! is a name associated with pleasure: the pleasure of working together in a team where each member can be a source of new and vital energy.
It also evokes the pleasure of producing and distributing content we really care about and that we feel compelled to share. Using hybridization, mixed techniques and artistic originality to produce solid content is of particular interest to us.
Solid content also means useful content: our goal is to play a modest part in making our world a better place. We try to bring audacious and meaningful content for kids, families and young adults, a content that nourishes their minds and concretely shows what kind of world we could live in if we were less individualists and more connected to one each other and to the living ecosystems.
In addition, we want to question production pipelines, teams organizations, and usual business models where profit is the only criteria. We believe in technological innovation as a tool to reduce our global carbon footprint.
MIAM! has brought together talented artists, writers, directors and illustrators and we are grateful for their trust in us.
MIAM! currently has a catalogue with exclusive worldwide distribution rights and we would also like to thank the producers for their trust in us.
In a hyper-connected world, what makes a difference is the attention and interest invested in content, i.e. its creative power and originality. It's up to us to make that difference!

The Edmond et Lucy (52 x 12') series is one of the first industrial format series principally produced in real-time (Unity). This innovation required the development of a new production pipeline, which was carried out by the teams at MIAM ! studio with our two service provider partners, Artefacts (Villeurbanne) and Jungler (Seine-Saint-Denis). The series has been broadcast on France Télévisions since 2 September 2022 and sold in over 150 territories.
The Les Minus (52 x 11’ + 52 x 4’) series is also produced in 3D real-time (Unreal 5.3) in partnership with Jungler and will be broadcast on Canal+ as of September 2025.
In May 2023, MIAM! animation won the Plan France 2030's La Grande Fabrique de l'Image with its project "Le temps réel appliqué à l’animation, ou comment produire dans le respect du système terre pour des audiences engages" (Real-time applied to animation or how to produce whilst respecting the Earth for environmentally committed viewers).
July 2022, MIAM! animation received a grant from the European Union's Innovative Tools & Business models fund for innovative and environmentally responsible creative industries in Europe.

Innovation is key to us and has allowed us to build a coherent project: be more sustainable on screen and behind the screen, taking into account each step of the production pipeline as well as the concepts of our shows and the teams behind.
At MIAM! distribution, we currently work with 21 independent production companies, all led by talented producers whom we are very proud to work with. Our line-up supports daring programs that have audacity and singularity in common, whether that be regarding their graphism or their concept and storytelling.
At MIAM!, we believe in our shows, we believe in their impact. Feminism, inclusion, diversity, sustainability, self-esteem, those are the words that could define our lineup. Thanks to our ongoing acquisition strategy and the regular revenues generated by our motivated sales team of 4 young women, we are able to invest in smaller formats, hybrid content, teen and adult shows that are less mainstream, that are harder to sell sometimes. That’s our way to act up.
More than 220 selections in 106 festivals (42 countries) and 36 awards!
At MIAM! studio, we develop since 2018 an innovative and sustainable realtime CGI production pipeline. Thanks to this pipeline, we are able to deliver high quality animated TV shows while reducing their carbon footprint and controlling their costs and time production.
With Edmond and Lucy, MIAM! studio is one of the first company in the world having delivered an animated TV show of this format (52 episodes of 12’), financed and broadcast by a linear public service (France Télévisions), which has been entirely produced in realtime CGI (using Unity).
Thanks to this innovative pipeline , the image quality is improved, the forest becomes alive, like a character in itself, and most of all, the rendering phase is deleted, allowing a massive economy in terms of carbon release. Here are the figures certified by the experts of Workflowers:
- 1 episode of 12 minutes, rendered in classic CGI on a single machine, takes 230 days (HD quality) and consumes about 330kg of CO2;
- 1 episode of 12 minutes, rendered in realtime CGI on a single machine, takes 6 hours (4K quality) and consumes about 0,15kg of CO2…
This is nothing less than a revolution!
For the production of our next show, The Tinies (50x11’, 22' and 52x3’), we are now developing and adapting our realtime CGI production pipeline to Unreal.
