King Rollo Films Ltd, known as King Rollo Films, is an animation production company established in 1978 by David McKee. For over 30 years, the company has been producing cartoons for children's television. Their studios are based in Honiton, England.[1]
History
King Rollo Films is an Independent animation studio lead by Leo Nielsen. We produce timeless animation that is faithful to its origins, collaborating closely with the best artists, writers and producers. King Rollo can adapt and bring to life the characters from a page with a sensitivity which is second to none.
The studio won a BAFTA for Maisy , a BAFTA nomination for Humf and a Daytime EMMY Nomination for Mama Mirabelle's Home Movies.
In 2004, the company split, with the Devon-based production arm and a rights-holding arm separating.[2]
