The studio is best known for its animated feature films Adventures in Zambezia[1] (2012), Khumba (2013), and the work they have done on television specials created for UK producers Magic Light Pictures. In 2016, Stick Man was awarded the Cristal for best TV production at the Annecy International Animation Festival.[2] In 2017, "Revolting Rhymes" again won the Cristal for best TV production at the Annecy Festival,[3] and was nominated for the Best Short Film (Animated) Oscar at the 2018 Academy Awards.[4] HistoryTriggerfish was established in 1996 by Jacquie Trowell and Emma Kaye in Cape Town, South Africa.[5] As a stop-frame animation studio, it produced multiple commercials for South African ad agencies. From 1998 through 2008, Triggerfish produced animation for Sesame Workshop for the South African version of Sesame Street, Takalani Sesame, as well as the US domestic and international versions of the pre-school kids' program. Stuart Forrest joined as a junior animator in 2002 to work on Takalani Sesame for seasons two and three. In 2004, Forrest and James Middleton became partners in Triggerfish and in 2005 became the sole partners when the original founders left the company. In 2007 Anthony Silverston joined as creative director, and Mike Buckland joined as head of production. At the same time, the company moved away from stop-frame animation and relaunched as a computer animation studio. In 2008, Triggerfish created a 30-minute short entitled The Rise and Fall of Tony the Frog. The short was produced by Ambient Animation in Cape Town[6] for Isaac Entertainment. Feature FilmsFrom 2006, the team began to shift focus to motion pictures by writing their first script Adventures in Zambezia, with US-based rights company Wonderful Works. The script went into production in 2009 and was released in 2012. In 2010, the studio started production on Khumba which started its worldwide release in Q3 2013. Triggerfish are now working in their third feature provisionally called Seal Team.[7] Story LabIn mid-2015, Triggerfish announced the Triggerfish Story Lab, a program that aims to develop African writers and directors. The initiative has financial backing from the Department of Trade and Industry of South Africa, and has the support of the Walt Disney Company.[8] Filmography
