Annecy MIFA 2025: Cosmic Dino expands its studio for the "Bluey" movie

Cosmic Dino unveiled details of their expanded facilities ahead of their attendance at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. The Brisbane-based studio’s new multi-million-dollar, 1500sqm facility includes a 40-seater 4K+ HDR cinema for reviews, creatively inspired edit suites, a cutting-edge pipeline, and an expansive open-plan office designed to foster collaboration between directors, artists, and producers—reflecting the studio’s commitment to award-winning quality and creative joy within their team.

From concept art through to final lighting, Cosmic Dino offers full-service CG animation, adaptable to a wide range of budgets and storytelling ambitions. This quantum leap positions the studio to take on larger feature projects, offering international studios a one-stop space station for high-quality animated films.

The extensive expansion is a natural progression for the studio, which is currently providing end-to-end animation services for the "Bluey" movie, the feature adaptation of the beloved 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. Following this success, Cosmic Dino has signed with U.S. powerhouses Fourth Wall Animation and UTA to represent the studio internationally.

Ricard Cussó and Ryan Greaves, co-owners of Cosmic Dino referred to the studio's vision: “The driving force behind Cosmic Dino is our unwavering passion to collaborate with visionary creatives and studios; to take their projects to infinity & beyond! It was a pivotal part of our launch plans to sign with the brilliance of Alison Mann at Fourth Wall and 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,” explained.

Moreover, Cosmic Dino will attend the Annecy International Animation Film Festival for the second year in a row, after supporting "The Sloth Lane" (produced by Like A Photon Creative), which was selected in Annecy Presents 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 built a name for itself thanks to its agile production capabilities and creator-led approach to projects. 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.

Combining world-class artists, industry-leading tax rebates, and a renowned studio culture, Cosmic Dino is positioning itself as a galactic one-stop station for award-winning animation. This studio—and its little dino in a space suit—is a trusted production partner, now seeking to expand its slate of original content and service partnerships across formats and genres.
