Turkey: TRT Çocuk’s Domestic Platform Fuels Global Exports

Turkey’s animation industry has repeatedly used TRT Çocuk, the national children’s broadcaster, as a launchpad for series that later find international distribution. “Rafadan Tayfa,” produced by Ankara’s ISF Studios since its 2014 debut, became one of the country’s highest-rated kids’ animated series domestically. “Pepee,” produced by Düşyeri and airing on TRT Çocuk since 2008, went further internationally with an Amazon Prime deal and dubbing into six languages. Separately, Grafi2000’s “King Shakir” has built a genuine global streaming footprint through Netflix across multiple seasons and films — a rare Turkish animation success story built on international platform distribution rather than domestic broadcast alone.

Key Stat

Turkey’s cash rebate, administered under Law 5224 by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, offers up to 30% on eligible in-country spend for qualifying co-productions and service productions that pass a 50/100-point cultural test.

How to Choose a Turkish Animation Partner

Grafi2000’s Netflix track record makes it the clearest reference point for projects targeting global streaming distribution, while ISF Studios and Düşyeri’s TRT Çocuk relationships suit projects seeking a proven domestic broadcast base before international expansion. Anima Istanbul’s three-decade history and stop-motion specialization make it a distinct option for projects wanting a specific visual technique. Confirm the 30% rebate’s cultural-test scoring requirements early, since qualification depends on passing a defined points threshold.
