Latin America: A Fast-Growing, Uneven Market
Latin America’s animation industry is expanding rapidly at the market level while individual studio fortunes vary sharply by country and company. Brazil’s Copa Studio has built a globally distributed hit in “Jorel’s Brother” through a stable partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery, while Mexico’s longtime flagship Ãnima Estudios ceased operations in July 2026 amid unpaid-wage disputes — a reminder that regional growth statistics don’t guarantee individual studio stability. Annecy-MIFA’s 2025 La Liga Focus program gave the region’s most acclaimed current titles — Chile’s “Baptism,” Mexico’s “CarmÃn,” Brazil’s “Pipa and Snail,” and Peru’s “Hua Awakens” — a major international stage.
Key Stat
The Latin America animation market reached $27.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to $66.1 billion by 2033, a compound annual growth rate of 9.3%.
