Cosmic Dino has unveiled details of their expanded facilities
ahead of their attendance at Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
The Brisbane-based studio’s new multi-million dollar 1,500 sqm. facility includes a 40-seater 4K+ HDR cinema for reviews, creatively-inspired edit suites, cutting-edge pipeline and an expansive open-plan office dedicated to collaboration between directors, artists and producers.
From concept art all the way through to final lighting, Cosmic Dino offers full-service CG animation, adaptable to a wide range of budgets and storytelling ambitions. The studio has undertaken this expansion to bring in larger feature projects, offering international studios a one-stop space station for high-quality animated films.
The studio is currently providing end-to-end animation services for the Bluey movie, based on the hit series from creator Joe Brumm and Ludo Studio, BBC Studios and The Walt Disney Company, slated for theatrical release in 2027. While the project remains under wraps, this high-profile collaboration marks a major milestone for Cosmic Dino.
Off the back of this success, Cosmic Dino has signed with U.S. outfits Fourth Wall Animation and UTA to represent the studio internationally.
“The driving force behind Cosmic Dino is our unwavering passion to collaborate with visionary creatives and studios; to take their projects to infinity and beyond! It was a pivotal part of our launch plans to sign with the brilliance of Alison Mann at Fourth Wall & Strawn Dixon at UTA to launch us full throttle into the U.S. market and showcase our exciting new facilities and the team of world-class artists we’ve assembled,” said Ricard Cussó and Ryan Greaves, co-owners of the studio.
Cosmic Dino will attend the Annecy International Animation Film Festival for the second year running, after supporting The Sloth Lane (produced by Like A Photon Creative), which was selected for the Annecy Presents program in 2024. The team will be available for meetings and project discussions throughout the MIFA market.
Founded in Brisbane by Spanish-Australian director Ricard Cussó and producer-screenwriter Ryan Greaves, Cosmic Dino has rapidly made a name for itself with its agile production capabilities and creator-led focus, bolstered by the region’s competitive tax rebates. Their recent service work includes the CG feature Scarygirl — nominated for four AACTA Awards — and the Tales from Sanctuary City franchise, both produced by Like A Photon. Their latest service project, the adaptation of the New York Times bestseller The Pout-Pout Fish, was completed in 2025 and is set for theatrical release later this year.
