Marlou Films Productions (also known as Marlou Films) is a French stop-motion animation studio founded in 1985 by Christophe Barrier and Frédéric Clémençon in Bordeaux, France. Marlou offers activities related to image education. During courses and workshops, the team create animated films, fiction, etc. with children. Their animated projects are mainly aimed towards children, and have often been broadcast worldwide on networks like Cartoon Network, France 3, ABC Kids, etc.

They're more well-known for the creation of Soupe Opéra,[1] which had garnered a cult following for giving children around the world a case of childhood trauma[2] due to its theme song,[3] performed by famous musician Garlo, who worked on all the projects for the studio. Other people involved in many Marlou Films projects included Catherine Garcia as animator and background artist, as well as Studio CIP[4] for the sound design, as all of their sound effects come from Sound Ideas, Françoise Gabouriaud as production assistant, and Corinne Borrot as production director.

In recent years, Marlou Films moved their headquarters from Bordeaux to Montussan, France.
