Procidis is an animation company from France, established in 1962 by Albert Barillé. The studio is primarily recognized for its educational Once Upon a Time... franchise, which includes installments such as Man (1978), Space (1982), Life (1987), The Americas (1992), The Discoverers (1994), The Explorers (1996), Music (2007), Planet Earth (2008), and The Objects (2023). Procidis’ productions have reached audiences in more than 100 countries, demonstrating a significant global distribution network. The most recent series to be translated into English was Les Zooriginaux (titled Wild Instinct) in 2001, which was broadcast in France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom. It is important to note that the Music and Planet Earth series have not been made available in English. In 2024, Banijay Entertainment took a controlling interest in Procidis, integrating the studio into the Banijay Kids & Family division as part of a strategy to broaden its animation production and distribution capabilities.
