Bardel is the leading animation services provider in North America for good reason. For over 30 years we’ve built our stellar reputation on three core values: quality, creativity and innovation.
What began as a small family business making hand-crafted animation has evolved into a digital studio spanning three state-of-the-art facilities. Through it all we have consistently embraced change, which brings challenges that inspire us to grow creatively. Yet one thing has never changed at Bardel: our commitment to deliver only the highest quality content.
Because Bardel has become a trusted name in the industry, we are the only animation studio in the world concurrently making series productions for a diverse slate of collaborators: Nickelodeon, Disney, Cartoon Network, DreamWorks and Warner Brothers. Bardel is also the only studio simultaneously working on feature films, prime time series, kids and preschool television, as well as projects for SVOD and VOD platforms.

Our ongoing desire to innovate has led directly to the formation of Bardel’s technology department, which designs our proprietary production and render management software, largely responsible for our production versatility and efficiency.
No matter how large Bardel grows we will always take pride in our past while focusing firmly on the future. At heart we are still a small business with a much bigger family. Only now, we make hand-crafted digital animation. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
In 2015, Bardel was acquired by Italy-based Rainbow Group, one of the largest animation producers and licensors in the world with subsidiaries in Moscow, Hong Kong and Singapore. Today, we offer animation production services from our Rome Based Studio, Rainbow CGI.
