We couldn’t do a #40YearsofAP series without highlighting our work on the one and only Sesame Street! We animated Sesame Workshop’s first animated special, The Monster at the End of This Story and spin-off YouTube short, as well as creating segment animations for the Sesame Street series too. 1/2

Working on Boo! was something very special for our team at A Productions. Not only did the famous London toy store Hamleys dedicate an entire window to the toys based on the show’s characters – but it was nominated for a BAFTA. 1/3

Children’s TV may be our mainstay – but we are a versatile bunch! Anyone remember the music video for Madonna’s Dear Jessie? Released from her album Like a Prayer in 1989, the animated video was produced by Animation City, for whom we created some of the animated sections. #40YearsofAP

Next up... Rubbish King of the Jumble! This children’s 2D animated series, made for CITV and narrated by Alexei Sayle, featured an overfed cat named Rubbish and was the first full series A Productions worked on in the 1990s – so it definitely has a special place in our hearts. #40YearsofAP

We’re taking a little trip down memory lane to celebrate our 40th birthday. Today, we bring some of the world’s best-loved children’s characters to life in animated TV and film. But did you know, over the years, we had a hand in creating animation for a string of TV adverts too? 1/2

Meet Emily & Ramen! The students from SGS College spent a week with us and experienced first-hand what it's like to work at A Productions.
They received tutorials from the crew in the design, rigging, scene prep, and animation departments before finally producing their own brilliant work.
