**Millimages** is a French independent [animation studio](/source/Animation_studio) based in [Paris](/source/Paris) which develops, produces and worldwide distributes high quality family entertainment on all media.

In 2016, Millimages was nominated for an [International Emmy Kids Award](/source/International_Emmy_Kids_Award) with its bestseller show *[Molang](/source/Molang)*.

## History

In December 1999, Millimages announced that they've teamed up with Paris-based animation studio [Method Films](/source/Method_Animation) to launch a new stop-motion animation joint-venture studio based in Paris which was originally called Gimmick. The new animation studio will work on Millimages' in-house productions alongside Method Films' works and would work on co-productions as well as outside clients such as TV adverts.[1]

In February 2002, Millimages expanded their operations into Germany with the acquisition of a 51 majority stake in Hamberg-based German animation production studio Toons'n'Tales. The acquisition of 51% majority stake in Toons'n'Tales had gave Millimages their own German animation production studio with Toons'n'Tales' president & co-founder Sunita Struck continued leading the German animation studio under Millimages.[2] Later in that same month, Millimages entered the distribution services by establishing their own worldwide distribution arm that would distribute Millimages' programmes internationally alongside third-party properties with former [Cinar](/source/Cinar) executive John Reynolds and president of Millimages' American division Millimages USA Dorian Langdon handling Millimages's new distribution division.[3]

In August 2017, Millimages partnered with VOD and streaming service distribution firm Alchimie to launch their own international VOD children's streaming service that would bring all of Millimages' programming catalogue under one service called OkiDoki, marking Millimages' first entry into the VOD streaming market with the new streaming service OkiDoki became available on Samsung Smart TVs.[4]
