EU support for animation

Animation in Europe is growing rapidly, fuelled by new technologies and creative talents. The animation industry has a track record of success in finding innovative solutions and new business models.

The EU has supported the European animation sector since 1991 via the MEDIA programme, by financing some of the best works and by helping to strengthen the sector as a whole.
