Inside Portal Animation
Stories, characters, learning and play all begin in the same place: with a world worth stepping into.
WE CREATE ORIGINAL WORLDS WHERE CINEMATIC STORYTELLING, PLAYFUL TECHNOLOGY AND MEANINGFUL LEARNING MOVE TOGETHER.
Our beginning
Portal Animation was established in 2024 with a simple belief: children's entertainment can be joyful, cinematic and meaningful at the same time. From our studio in Blackrock, we develop original films and digital products where story, learning and play move together.
Our worlds
From big-screen adventures to everyday moments of discovery, everything we make invites young audiences to participate, imagine, and grow.

A safe world of daily discoveryDiscover LumiraHow we work
Every project begins with a strong reason to exist. We align the audience, purpose and ambition first, then keep story, design and technology connected from beginning to end.
We define the audience, the opportunity and the feeling the experience should leave behind.
We turn the idea into a story world, product journey and practical creative plan.
Writers, artists, designers and developers bring the work to life through focused production.
We review, test and polish every detail until the experience feels clear, cohesive and ready to share.
What guides us
Memorable characters and meaningful worlds are at the heart of everything.
Learning feels natural when children are free to explore, create, and play.
Safe, thoughtful experiences that children love and parents can trust.
