Ellipse has worked with many other animation companies, with the most reputable being Nelvana and Nickelodeon.

History

In 1987, the company was founded by Philippe Gildas and Robert Réa under the name Ellipse Programme.

On July 22, 2003, the company was acquired by media entertainment conglomerate Média-Participations from Studio Expand and placed it under the French-Belgian publishing company Dargaud, thrust making Dargaud assuming ownership all of Ellipse Animation's adaptations and joins Dargaud's animation and production unit Dargaud Marina.[3]

In January 2024, Ellipse Animation announced that they have acquired a majority stake in Milan-based Italian production company Studio Campedelli.[4]
