Red Kite Animation are an Edinburgh studio who mostly make children's cartoons. We also teach animated film making to kids and adults throughout Scotland (and occasionally England!)

Animation workshops vary in length from short introductions, to making epic, story based films. Our workshop leaders are full time professional animators and teach the whole process of making a film, from writing and storyboarding, through to design and animation techniques. Workshops are arranged through festivals, schools and arts organisations, and more recently available to the public in our adult training or school holiday sessions in Edinburgh.
