History
edit
The founders of Animonsta have experience in creating animated 3D films and blockbuster animations.[3] Through combined knowledge and previously gained experience, they founded Animonsta Studios with the goal of bringing wholesome content with a local touch to both local and international audiences.
Their first animated series, BoBoiBoy is about BoBoiBoy and his friends' adventures in battling aliens who are trying to invade Earth for its cocoa beans. In the sneak peek of the series, BoBoiBoy was formerly named BoBoi, but later renamed to BoBoiBoy instead.[4] The original run of BoBoiBoy consisted of 3 seasons with a total of 52 episodes. This was followed by the full-length theatrical release, BoBoiBoy: The Movie,[5] and later a re-branding of the series titled BoBoiBoy Galaxy[6] which features the same but a slightly older cast of characters in a larger interplanetary setting. While the franchise is aimed at children and teenagers, the content is suitable for the entire family to enjoy together.[7]
The company later released BoBoiBoy Movie 2,[8] and an original new animated series titled Mechamato.[9]
