The global animation market was valued at $ 372.44 billion in 2021 and is expected to exceed $ 587.1 billion by 2030, increasing at a CAGR of 5.2 percent from 2022 to 2030. While the world is still slumbering after COVID-19, animation and animation-related content are still being screened all around the world. The purchasing of content by broadcasters and buyers from all over the world at events like MIPCOM, Asian Television Forum, Asian Animation Summit, and Seoul Cartoon and Animation Festival, is still active despite the pandemic.
The event organizers have since moved the physical parts of attendance to online pitching in order to keep the event alive. More and more broadcast stations are launching their own Animation Specific Channels to screen these contents as well as support by the online media. Over the two recent years, due to the pandemic, YouTube and Netflix have seen an increase in followers and subscribers. These platforms redefined viewership as compared to the traditional medium, television.
Jakalll Studio is one such prominent player in this space positioned as a boutique Animation studio based in Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia. Keeping true to its nature of business, Jakalll Studios remains the favorite as a go-to studio for service work/work for hire in the country. Many local animation studios have partnered with the studio to produce works that have been screened on Disney Channel and other channels.
Its strength has been the proprietary production pipeline in creating high-quality content on schedule and on the budget for the past few years.
Not to mention scalable as and when the requirement for bigger projects arises. Jakalll Studio has also produced in-house Intellectual Properties (IP) that have been sold internationally for Youtube. “Our IPs have a distinct 2D aesthetic that is quite refreshing, and it is increasingly sought after by buyers from local broadcast stations. Our fast turnaround of projects, whether commissioned or our own IP, is one of the most important aspects of our business,” adds Zahrin Zamzuri, CEO.
Core Competency
Jakalll Studio services mainly cater to providing 2D Service Work for animation companies. A few of the titles are still ongoing and could not be revealed due to a Non-Disclosure-Agreement for now.

Jakalll is solely in the business of providing animation tailored to its client’s demands unless its own IP. In the case of IP, at times, the studio has industry mentors and other animation houses that provide feedback to us on the concepts and developments.
Jakalll Studio is on a mission to constantly thrive to become better at its craft in providing the best 2D stylized animation worldwide and envisions becoming one of the key Asian 2D Work for Hire companies locally and internationally. Currently, Jakalll Studio is working on its own IP – “Hurairah” (5 seasons), 2D animated tv series for children’s programming, and a couple of short movies (to include Hurairah) for TV Festivals. And for the long run, perhaps an Animated Feature for its pipeline from its own IP. Zahrin Zamzuri, concludes “First and foremost, we want to thank MDEC, ANIMAS, and RKKM for their contributions to making Jakalll what it is today. I’d also like to thank the local institutions of higher learning, such as ASWARA, UPSI, and UiTM, for providing us with students to train and take into work with our productions. With the experience that we provide them on handling actual projects, they are more easily accepted into other accepting animation companies.”
