MONSTER & BEAR MELBOURNE ANIMATION STUDIOS
You’ve got a message, a campaign, an idea, or even a story that just can’t sit still. That’s where we come in. We don’t just press an ‘animate’ button, we breathe life into your brand stories through bold, beautiful, thoughtfully designed animation and motion design.
Whether it’s a complex explainer video, a campaign hero film, a brand manifesto, a scroll-stopper for socials, or something so wild it doesn’t even have a name yet, we’ve got you. Because animation shouldn’t be boring. And with our team at Monster & Bear, it never is.
WHY ANIMATION?
Animation is the secret weapon of modern storytelling. It’s flexible, expressive, emotive and it can go places live-action just can’t. Want to turn data into a disco? Easy. Need to explain a tricky service in 60 seconds without losing your audience? Got it! Dreaming of a magical brand world that lifts people out of reality? We can build that… and we’d be happy to!
Why Monster & Bear?
We’re not just animators. We’re storytellers, directors, designers, strategists, and lifelong artists who love bringing creative ideas and tactical messaging to life in the most visually interesting way possible. And we do it all under one roof — from script to screen.
Whether you’re a brand, an agency, a not-for-profit, or an educational institution we’re here to help you say what you need to say, treat the eyeballs — and make it memorable, really memorable.
HOW WE WORK
We create animation that’s not just beautifully designed, it’s purposeful. Our design-led approach means every colour, frame, and detail is crafted with care and expertise. We begin by understanding your key message and audience, then build a completely custom design style around it, no templates! With smart strategy baked in from the start, we make sure your animated content works hard and truly connects. And with a full in-house team across scripting, storyboarding, design, 2d animation, 3d animation, sound, and post-production, we manage the entire process — from first idea to final delivery.
CLIENTS & PARTNERS
We’ve created animated content and animation video production for brands big and small, including names like Commbank, AFL, Movember, MyConnect, UBank and SBS. From purpose-led branded storytelling to playful, product-driven campaigns, to full animated series for television, we’ve helped brands connect with audiences in memorable ways.
We don’t just want your audience to watch — we want them to feel something.
