Passionate about nurturing new talent, the team mentors aspiring artists through partnerships with the Royal Television Society and Exeter Phoenix. They also run an Animation Academy, providing young people with digital animation skills and pathways to future creative opportunities. In an effort to combat climate change, the studio has initiated a tree-planting scheme, planting a tree for each client project and new intern, resulting in over 200 trees planted to date. Their commitment to creativity and sustainability ensures that every project aligns with their clients’ values while promoting environmental responsibility.
Yellow Mouse has experienced significant growth this year, propelled by a host of original animated series. The company has effectively cultivated a diverse network of industry partnerships, leading to an increase in new commercial clients. Their successful acquisition of an Innovate UK grant has enabled the development of new intellectual property and the establishment of an animation academy aimed at training and retaining talent within Devon’s screen sector. Following a rigorous phase of business development, Yellow Mouse is strategically poised to introduce its new offerings, with the potential for expansion into international markets.
Yellow Mouse has received ACE and Exeter University ARC funding this year to develop their skills and development pipeline in animation. With several project collaborations underway, they will be launching new work in the forthcoming year.
“The Creative Growth Programme has been a real positive force for our business. We’ve received incredible support from the people running the Programme and new collaborative opportunities within our cohort. In a short period of time the business outlook has become completely different with a new momentum, which we never knew we had.”
