Studio FILM BILDER is an independent production company of animated films based in Stuttgart, Germany. Since 1989, the studio under the direction of founder Thomas Meyer-Hermann has been producing animation in almost every conceivable format, including music videos, commercials, short films, feature films and series. The studio stands for individual design, advanced storytelling and a close connection with internationally renowned animated film directors. The work at the studio began with a two-track mindset between art and commerce, leading to projects quickly developing that were driven both by the creativity and enthusiasm of the own creation as well as by the craftsmanship perfection of the commissioned work. 

Five series produced in recent years are personal works by the FILM BILDER authors: “TOM & the Slice of Bread with Strawberry Jam and Honey” (Andreas Hykade), “I Know an Animal” (various authors), “Patchwork Pals” (Angela Steffen), „Animanimals” (Julia Ocker) and “Lena’s Farm” by Elena Walf. They were created almost entirely under the studio’s roof, from the first sketch to the delivery of the finished episodes to more than 180 countries around the world. Like the short films, the series prove that artistic ambition and audience success are not contradictory. The studio’s productions have won 400 festival awards. The channel youtube.com/filmbilder has 1.9 million subscribers.

The series ‘Fritzi & Sophie’, a co-production with Balance Film and TrickStudio Lutterbeck, has also recently been completed. The series ‘Lambs’ by Gottfried Mentor, the animadoc ‘Olmütz’ by Andreas Hykade and the animated feature film ‚Your Spotted Skin’ by Daniel Nocke are currently in preparation.
