It's exactly a week since the Annie Awards and all we can say is what a night! It was wonderful to have a small portion of the large Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire family together for this hallmark achievement. Once again, thank you to the entire team. None of this would have been possible without you. #anniewawards #kizazimoto #triggerfishanimation #disney #africa #igdaily
WE DID IT! Triggerfish snagged Best TV/Media – Limited Series for Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire - "Enkai" and Best Music - TV/Media for Star Wars: Visions - "Aau's Song" at the 51st Annie Awards!
To Ng'endo Mukii and Markus Wormstorm who reminded us all how to trust the process, Congratulations! Hongera! Nĩ wega! Baie geluk!
Absolutely none of this would have been possible without the team of directors, producers, cast and crew that worked tirelessly to see this dream come to fruition. We are unwavering in our intention to bring distinct stories from diverse voices to the global stage and recognition like this keeps the embers burning.
Woof, woof, hooray! Triggerfish will be heading to Cartoon Movie for the first time next year! Pedigree, our latest animated feature film in development is one of 50 projects selected (out of a whopping 150) to be pitched.
Created by Maya Adam whose personal story inspired the concept, and co-directed by Greig Cameron (Seal Team) and Samantha Cutler (The Scarecrows’ Wedding), Pedigree is a heartfelt, humorous feature set in a world where ballet is dominated by purebred performers. Lilly, a spirited mutt, dreams of proving that all dogs can dance, but when her beloved dance school faces closure, she rallies her scruffy friends to save their studio by performing on the grandest stage. Battling snobbery, sabotage, and her own self-doubt, Lilly must prove that true talent knows no breed.
We’re thrilled to be taking this story onto the international stage!
From concept to character design, Supa Team 4 shows how strong development and pre-production lay the foundation for standout storytelling.
At Triggerfish, we’re now extending these services beyond our own pipeline—helping studios, partners, and creators bring their visions to life with world-class development and pre-production expertise.
Go behind the scenes of Supa Team 4, the action-packed series we created as Netflix’s first African original, crafted by our incredible team of artists, writers, and producers at Triggerfish.
If you’re looking to collaborate at the earliest and most crucial stage of production, we’d love to connect.
