==History== In December 1999, Millimages announced that they've teamed up with Paris-based animation studio Method Films 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.<ref>{{cite web|title=Millimages and Method team up for stop-motion|url=https://kidscreen.com/1999/12/01/27432-19991201/|website=Kidscreen|first=Pascal|last=Paoli|date=December 1, 1999|access-date=September 16, 2024}}</ref>
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.<ref>{{cite web|title=Millimages Takes On Toons'N'Tales|url=https://www.awn.com/news/millimages-takes-toons-n-tales|website=Animation World Network|first=Leigh|last=Godfrey|date=February 6, 2002}}</ref> 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 executive John Reynolds and president of Millimages' American division Millimages USA Dorian Langdon handling Millimages's new distribution division.<ref>{{cite web|title=Millimages acquires toon for new distribution arm|url=https://www.c21media.net/news/millimages-acquires-toon-for-new-distribution-arm/|website=C21Media|first=Ed|last=Waller|date=February 15, 2002}}</ref>
