An independent animation studio with a published fantasy saga, a five-property original universe built to grow up with its audience, and a restoration pipeline that brings classic animation back to today's screens.
3 novels in print · 5 connected properties · 1 founder-built mythology
A studio built on two loves: the Saturday-morning classics that raised us, and the original stories still waiting to be told.
The Ravenwood Universe — five connected properties on an audience ladder that runs from family storytime to adult fantasy.
Remastering and modernization for networks, platforms, rights holders, and archives — classic content, made broadcast-ready again.
Bringing beloved animation back to new screens and new generations — announcements to come.
The stories that shaped a generation deserve a studio that can carry them forward.
Quest Kids is our own destination for family animation — a bright, wonder-first channel built the way Saturday mornings used to feel. It's the family gateway to the Ravenwood Universe: the home of Old Garrick's Fireside Fables and the warm village years of Elderwood as they come to screen.

"The way the Blood of Ancient Kings actually manifests as power is such a cool concept — it's not just a title, it's a burden."
RM Guerra · Book I

Cesar · Book II
