Netflix is teaming with Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and France\u2019s prestigious Gobelins Paris on a new partnership to build a stop-motion studio aimed at developing the next generation of animation storytellers and propelling the medium forward.<\/p>\n

Located on the Gobelins campus in Paris, the studio \u2014 co-funded by Netflix and del Toro \u2014 will function as a creative laboratory for research, education, and collaboration between students, mentors, and master filmmakers.<\/p>\n

The initiative, which will enter a planning phase during the 2025\u20132026 academic year, is envisioned as a training ground and a hub for innovation. It will serve as a tribute to the late Mark Gustafson<\/a>, a stop-motion legend whose work shaped the art form. Over his career, he collaborated on iconic projects such as The California Raisins with Will Vinton, Wes Anderson\u2019s Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Guillermo del Toro\u2019s Pinocchio.<\/p>\n

Though based in France, the project shares the spirit of El Taller del Chucho in Guadalajara, a stop-motion studio co-founded by del Toro, the University of Guadalajara, and the Guadalajara International Film Festival. Since its 2019 founding, El Taller del Chucho has become a cornerstone of Latin American stop-motion, with multiple production stages supporting up to 25 animation units.<\/p>\n

For Netflix, the Paris partnership builds on a growing global investment in animation, following collaborations with studios such as Fortiche (Arcane), TAT (Ast\u00e9rix: Le Combat des Chefs) and Blue Spirit (Blue Eye Samurai).<\/p>\n

UPDATE: On Bluesky, Guillermo del Toro further clarified:<\/p>\n

This workshop will initiate with people from Mexico, Latin America and Europe to strengthen the ties of stop motion and collaboration and, in exchange, education will be provided for free for one Mexican \/ Latinamerican student for the first ten years also.<\/p>\n
