Company Description
Pencilish Animation Studios intends to create high quality animation, intellectual property, films and television that can be distributed and monetized through licensing, merchandise, and other revenue streams.
With the team that we have assembled, in 5 years we hope to be the number 1 boutique animation studio in the world. These projections are not guaranteed.
Given the Company’s limited operating history, the Company cannot reliably estimate how much revenue it will receive in the future, if any.
