Originally operating as Saban International Paris, the studio underwent a rebranding to SIP Animation effective October 1, 2002, while continuing to develop and distribute animated content globally under the leadership of president Michel Welter. As part of Saban Entertainment's international operations, it maintained a full-scale animation facility in that supported the creation of shows compliant with European broadcasting quotas. The studio's trajectory shifted significantly with The Walt Disney Company's $5.3 billion acquisition of Saban Entertainment and related assets, including Fox Family Worldwide, in 2001, which integrated SIP Animation into Disney's growing portfolio of kids' programming entities. Under this ownership, SIP Animation collaborated with partners like Jetix Europe and TF1 on projects such as the superhero series A.T.O.M. - Alpha Teens on Machines in 2005 and Combo Ninos in 2007, focusing on dynamic stories featuring young protagonists with supernatural abilities.

History

The venture quickly gained traction in the European market, partnering with composer to produce successful tracks, including several gold and platinum albums that sold millions of copies. Early efforts centered on non-animation media, such as creating soundtracks for live-action television series and international shows like and . By the late , the company began transitioning toward television production, with Jacqueline Tordjman playing a pivotal role in operations alongside Saban. In 1989, it reoriented as Saban International Paris and entered the animation sector, initially contributing music and production support to animated projects while maintaining its headquarters as the operational base. This marked the start of exploratory animation work, including soundtrack collaborations for series like , before a deeper commitment to full animation production. Key personnel during this formative period included for creative music direction and Tordjman for production oversight, laying the groundwork for the company's future in animated content.

Semi-independence and expansion

In November 1991, Saban International Paris achieved semi-independence through a share restructuring, with Luxembourg-based International Film Productions acquiring a 49.7% stake and Saban Entertainment retaining 49.8%. This arrangement allowed the studio greater operational autonomy while maintaining strong ties to its American parent company, enabling a focus on expanding production capabilities during the early . The studio further consolidated its position in the French animation industry with the acquisition of rival Créativité et Développement (C&D) in March , a facility owned by DIC Entertainment co-founder that specialized in animated content. C&D was fully absorbed into Saban International Paris operations and closed in 1998, streamlining resources and integrating its production assets to boost efficiency. This move supported key expansions, including co-productions with international partners such as Canada's and Japan's , which facilitated cross-border funding and distribution for ambitious projects. During this period, Saban International Paris ramped up its output with notable series that highlighted its growing expertise in European-style animation. The 1995 adaptation of , based on the French comic by and Jean Tabary, consisted of 26 episodes (each featuring two 13-minute segments) and aired internationally, including on in the UK.

By 2001, these developments had propelled the studio's annual production to exceed 100 hours of content, marking a significant scale-up from its earlier distribution-focused years and positioning it as a leading European producer.

Rebranding and Disney integration

In October 2001, The Walt Disney Company completed its acquisition of Fox Family Worldwide, including Saban Entertainment, for a total of $5.2 billion ($2.9 billion in cash and the assumption of $2.3 billion in debt). As part of this deal, Disney gained a 49% minority stake in Saban International , the animation division of Saban Entertainment. This ownership shift prompted a of the studio to SIP Animation on , 2002, marking its transition to operations under partial Disney influence while maintaining independence in production decisions. Under this new structure, SIP Animation adapted to Disney's global strategy, focusing on co-productions aligned with the brand, which targeted action-oriented programming for children aged 6-14. The studio shifted toward international distribution through Buena Vista International Television and networks, emphasizing pan-European and U.S. markets. This era saw SIP leverage Disney's resources for enhanced creative and marketing support, while contributing to the Jetix slate to expand its reach across 58 countries in 18 languages. Key productions during 2002-2008 highlighted SIP's integration with Disney ecosystems. Gadget & the Gadgetinis (2002-2003), a 52-episode spin-off of Inspector Gadget, was co-produced with DIC Entertainment and distributed via Fox Kids Europe (later Jetix), blending gadget-themed adventures with Disney's family-friendly animation style. W.I.T.C.H. (2004-2006), a 52-episode magical girl series based on Disney's Italian comic, was developed in association with Jetix Europe, France 3, and Super RTL, featuring five teenagers guarding interdimensional portals and emphasizing themes of friendship and empowerment. Similarly, A.T.O.M. – Alpha Teens on Machines (2005-2007), a 52-episode superhero series, was co-produced with Jetix Europe and drew from Hasbro's Action Man line, following teen inventors testing high-tech vehicles against villains in Landmark City. These projects exemplified SIP's role in Disney's Jetix Animation Concepts joint venture, combining European animation expertise with American distribution muscle. By , SIP Animation's output under Disney had amassed a substantial amount of animated content, solidifying its position as a key player in international kids' programming before entering .

Dormancy, closure, and legacy

Following the Company's acquisition of the remaining shares in on December 7, 2008, SIP Animation entered a period of as its primary client and production partner shifted focus under full Disney control, resulting in significantly reduced operations and no new projects after 2009. The studio, which had relied heavily on co-productions with for series like Combo Niños, saw its activity halt as Disney integrated Jetix's assets into , leaving SIP without major commissions. Although operations ceased in practice by 2009, formal proceedings did not commence until later; the company remained legally active but inactive, with minimal revenue reported in subsequent years, such as €202,000 in 2019 dropping to €107,000 by 2022, and zero employees by 2023. On August 28, 2023, sole shareholder BVS Entertainment Inc. decided on an anticipatory dissolution without process, transferring all assets and liabilities directly to BVS, with full legal closure (radiation) registered on October 25, 2023. SIP Animation's legacy endures in the European animation landscape through its role in pioneering cross-border co-productions between French studios and international partners like and , which helped standardize collaborative models for kids' content in the . Many former employees went on to establish influential studios, including Ginkgo Animation founded in 2008 by longtime SIP director Bruno Bianchi after the studio's operational wind-down, and Zagtoon, launched in 2009 by Jeremy Zag in partnership with SIP co-founder Jacqueline Tordjman, a Saban veteran.

Pilots and short films

In the later years of SIP Animation's operations, as the studio faced increasing financial pressures and eventual dormancy, it shifted focus toward experimental short-form projects, including several unproduced television pilots aimed at children's audiences. These efforts represented attempts to develop new intellectual properties amid declining resources, though none advanced to full series production due to the company's impending closure in 2009. The first such pilot was Astaquana (2007), which followed a group of children discovering ancient secrets and embarking on adventures on a mystical uncharted island. Intended for broadcast , it remained unproduced. In , SIP Animation completed three additional pilots: Wesh Wesh Express, directed by Fred Vilquin; Ko-Bushi, co-produced with Malaysian studio Inspidea; and , co-directed by Olivier Jongerlynck and Fernando Lira. Wesh Wesh Express and The Jokers were pitched for youth-oriented channels but did not secure commissions. Ko-Bushi centered on tiny warriors that activated nightly in a closed restaurant, battling with toothpicks and wasabi bombs to claim mascot status in a comedic format, targeted at families for a potential 78-episode run using digital 2D techniques; it was showcased at but ultimately shelved following SIP's liquidation proceedings. Complementing these pilots, SIP Animation produced the Inukshuk (2009), a poetic 8-minute Inuit-themed directed, scripted, and animated by Camille-Elvis Théry, with music and sound by Mathieu Almaric. The story depicts a small Inuk man and a mischievous bear witnessing their icy world transform into a vast whale amid an ocean of grass on the final polar day. Produced under Bruno Bianchi's oversight, it premiered at the in 2009 and was distributed internationally by the German company interfilm for festival circuits.

Ownership

Initial and transitional ownership

SIP Animation, originally established as Saban International Paris, was founded in 1977 by in as a music specializing in compositions for television shows. From its inception through 1991, the studio operated under the full ownership of and Jacqueline Tordjman, structured as Saban Records and Music , focusing initially on releasing Saban's musical works before expanding into . In November 1991, Saban International Paris transitioned to a semi-independent structure after its shares were divided approximately equally, with Saban Entertainment holding 49.8% and International Film Productions (a Luxembourg-based entity) acquiring a 49.7% minority stake, allowing for greater operational autonomy in its European activities while Saban retained a plurality. This arrangement enabled the studio to function as a separately operated facility, jointly headquartered in and , contributing to Saban's global expansion in children's programming. By the mid-1990s, the studio maintained stability under Saban Entertainment's oversight, with Jacqueline Tordjman serving as a key executive leader. A significant transitional development occurred between 1996 and 1998 with the acquisition and integration of rival French studio Créativité et Développement (C&D), owned by DIC Entertainment co-founder Jean Chalopin. In March 1996, Saban International Paris announced its intent to acquire C&D to bolster its position as a leading European animation producer, with negotiations led by Tordjman and Vincent Chalvon-Demersay. The deal closed on April 16, 1996, for approximately $2.87 million, adding over 400 half-hour episodes from C&D's library to Saban's programming assets and securing animation rights to properties like Diabolik. In 1996, the 49.7% stake previously held by International Film Productions was transferred to Pueblo Films AG (Switzerland). C&D's operations and shares were fully integrated into Saban International Paris by 1998, enhancing the studio's production capacity while it remained a co-owned entity with Saban Entertainment's stake through the end of 2001. This period solidified the studio's role in Saban's portfolio.

Disney acquisition and full control

From 2002 to 2012, the studio operated under joint ownership as SIP Animation (rebranded effective October 1, 2002), with holding 49.6% and Films AG holding 49.7%; it functioned under the oversight of —the Disney entity tasked with managing former Saban properties—though it entered dormancy in 2009. In December 2008, Disney announced its purchase of the remaining outstanding shares in N.V., a primary co-production partner for SIP Animation's projects, which precipitated the studio's entry into dormancy as production partnerships dissolved. In 2012, acquired the outstanding 49.7% stake held by Pueblo Films AG, securing full ownership of SIP Animation through its BVS International N.V. After 2009, SIP Animation's intellectual properties and assets were progressively transferred to for centralized rights management and distribution under Disney's control. The company was fully terminated and closed on October 25, 2023, by , with all remaining assets integrated into Disney's portfolio.
