Cyber Group Studios, a global producer and distributor of animated series for children and families, has partnered with Splash Entertainment, a children’s entertainment studio, to form CyberSplash. The new Paris-based company will create and produce original animated series and feature films for kids and families around the world. Each company will continue to work independently as well. CyberSplash’s debut project is “Family Rocks,” a preschool series about the first modern family of the Stone Age. The show is a co-production with the Israel-based Ananey Studios (“Spyders,” “Greenhouse Academy,” “Craft Party”), part of Paramount Global. The series is set to premiere in 2024. 

“We are delighted to join forces with our longtime friend, Mike Young, and his very talented team at Splash Entertainment to develop fresh, family-friendly content for audiences around the globe,” says Pierre Sissmann, chairman and chief executive officer, Cyber Group Studios worldwide and chairman, CyberSplash. 

“‘Family Rocks’ celebrates the notion of a ‘family’ in a quirky and unexpected way,” says Gili Dolev, head of animation development, Ananey. “This show is the cornerstone of Ananey’s slate of animated projects, and we couldn’t be more excited about this amazing partnership with CyberSplash.”
