Starting in 2005 with The Adventures of Pax Afrika, the young animation division quickly grew to 30 people, producing 104 half-hour episodes. After a move from local to more international work and a change from Flash to Toon Boom as preferred medium, the studio worked on Mr Bebe (Xilam, France), Happy Valley (Dinamo, Wales) and storyboards for Wibbly Pig (Wish Films, UK). 2008-2010: Later CareerIn 2009, Clockwork Zoo co-produced 26 season 5 half hour episodes of Caillou with Cookie Jar (Canada) significantly raising the bar on previous seasons. The Caillou franchise has sold in every continent and made $40 million in sales so far. In 2010, the company co-produced Florries Dragons with Wish Films (UK) for initial broadcast on the Disney Channel UK. The 52 x 10min series about a princess and her 6 pet dragons has gained a great deal of attention and Playhouse Disney were "thrilled" with the result. Clockwork Zoo provided development, design, script, storyboard, build, background, animatics, layout, animation and HD video post on Florries Dragons. The company closed in 2010 and many of the employees formed Sea Monster Entertainment AwardsThe company won the prestigious 2010 Cape Film Commission Imbongi trophies in both Training & Development and Animation.
