Animando was founded in 2007 by the creators of the award-winning children´s series Elias, the Little Rescue Boat. Elias; Rescue Team Adventures (52 x 11-minute episodes) was Animando´s first production and was a co-production with the Icelandic animation studio Caoz. In 2017, Animando premiered two new productions: The animated feature film Anchors Up and the live stage show The Music Factory – a hybrid concert performance including full symphony orchestra and dancers on stage, interwoven with character and projected abstract animation.
