SIP Animation (Known as Saban International Paris until 2002) was a French animation studio and a former subsidiary of Saban Entertainment.
History[edit]
Saban International Paris was founded in France by Haim Saban and Jacqueline Tordjman in 1977 as a television production company. The company became a subsidiary of the newly-formed Saban Entertainment in 1980 and in 1983, Saban International Paris moved into the animation field, producing animated shows for their parent company.
Saban International Paris would eventually enter a partnership with the newly formed Fox Kids Europe in the mid 90's and so would would produce many animated series for them in the 1990s and 2000s.
In 2001, Fox Family Worldwide was sold from their owners News Corporation to The Walt Disney Company[1], this also included Saban Entertainment and Saban International Paris which were subsidiaries of Fox Family Worldwide. Saban Entertainment was renamed to BVS Entertainment while Saban International Paris was sold off after Haim Saban departed the same year.
In 2002, The Walt Disney Company bought a minor stake within Saban International Paris and on October 1, 2002 the company was renamed to SIP Animation. On the same day SIP announced they were producing a TV series based on the Disney-published comic book series W.I.T.C.H. alongside 2 others they were working on already before the rename.[2][3][4][5] Even after becoming independent, SIP continued to co-produce animated series with Jetix Europe (previously Fox Kids Europe) like A.T.O.M. - Alpha Teens on Machines and co-producing Season 2 of What's with Andy? and The Tofus for CinéGroupe.
In May 2007, SIP Animation announced the production of Combo Ninos.[6] After the production of Combo Ninos ended in 2008 and the buyout of Jetix Europe by Disney, SIP Animation was silently closed down. Bruno Bianchi, who worked at the company since the 90's, went on to form his own animation company called Ginkgo Animation after the closure of SIP, and ran it before his death on December 2, 2011.[7]
