Montreal-based Rodeo FX has made a bold move by acquiring Mikros Animation, the former Technicolor subsidiary, in a deal that strengthens its foothold in the global animation and VFX industry. Known for its award-winning work on Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, and Dune, Rodeo FX now inherits an animation powerhouse with a proven track record on projects like PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.
This acquisition comes in the wake of Technicolor’s financial collapse, which sent Mikros and its sister companies into receivership. With the Paris Commercial Court overseeing their fate, Rodeo FX’s strategic move ensures that Montreal remains a central player in high-end animation. It also signals a shift in the industry, where independent studios are seizing opportunities left in the wake of corporate restructuring.
For Rodeo FX, this is more than just an expansion—it's a statement. In an era where consolidation often means creative risk, Rodeo FX is doubling down on artistry, innovation, and global growth. The question now is: how will this reshape the animation and VFX landscape in Montreal and beyond?
