South Africa’s Triggerfish has announced it’s setting up its first international studio in Galway, Ireland.
The award-winning animation studio is a rising powerhouse behind projects like the Oscar-nominated Roald Dahl adaptation “Revolting Rhymes,” as well as the International Emmy-winning “Zog,” the British Animation Awards winner “The Snail and the Whale” (pictured), and the Rose d’Or-winning “The Highway Rat,” all produced by Magic Light Pictures.
