Our History
Since it’s inception Animation UK has highlighted the cross sector strengths of the Animation sector and worked on behalf of the children's Animation industry to campaign for the introduction of Animation Tax Credit, which successfully came in to force in early 2013. This had an immediate positive impact, doubling investment in animation production.Our History
In 2016 recognising common goals, Animation UK joined in partnership with UK Screen to form the UK Screen Alliance and create a single strong advocacy body for the animation and visualisation sectorEarly Man © Aardman Animations
