What is Nordic Animation?

Nordic Animation is an association consisting of the leading animation studios and producers in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Norway. The goal of Nordic Animation Association is both to strengthen the ties between animation professionals in the Nordic countries and to promote Nordic Animation as a quality brand to the rest of the world. Our visual profile signals five different countries coming together as a whole, and is based on the principles of Nordic simplicity, playfulness and the concept of movement.
