Today, the Walt Disney Company announced that Animaj has been named one of the four companies selected to join the 2025 Disney Accelerator, a business development program designed to support the growth of innovative companies shaping the future of media and entertainment.
Animaj is among the selected companies due to its growth as a next-generation media company, innovative AI-driven production pipeline, and digital-first approach to building global children’s and family franchises.
The Disney Accelerator connects participants with the creativity, imagination, and expertise of The Walt Disney Company. The program offers a unique opportunity for select cutting-edge startups that align with Disney’s vision for the future of entertainment. Participating companies receive investment capital, as well as mentorship from Disney’s senior leadership, and the opportunity to explore collaborations with leaders across The Walt Disney Company.
Since 2014, more than 60 global companies have come through Disney Accelerator, including Epic Games, Eleven Labs, Kahoot!, Attentive, StatusPro, AudioShake, and more — many of which continue to collaborate with Disney.
“We are honored to join the Disney Accelerator,” said Sixte de Vauplane, Co-Founder and CEO of Animaj. “Disney has always stood at the intersection of imagination and technology — a place we know well. We believe AI and creativity can work hand in hand to rethink how children’s brands are built, distributed, and experienced in a digital-native world.”
