Hatch — Animation Development Lab
An incubator for original animated IP. Hatch brings together producers, artists and storytellers to incubate, strengthen and prepare animated properties for the market.
What is Hatch?
That's why we created Hatch — a creative development platform designed to take animated properties from raw concept to market-ready IP.
Through mentorship, creative development, production strategy and industry guidance, the lab helps projects move from concept to a clearer path forward. We focus on projects with creative ambition and global potential.
