Lanning Animation is a small animation studio started by husband/wife duo Robert and Taylor Lanning. A lot of our team has experience from the top animation and game studios, but in the wake of lots of layoffs, AI, and poorly made stories, we have never been more inspired to make our own work. Our goal is to eventually be able to sustain ourselves and a team of talented artists to create animated projects we are passionate about. We focus on creating inspiring, high quality animation with a huge emphasis on artistry. We are currently in production on our first short film, a Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask passion project with music composer, TheophanyRemix!
