SIP Animation was a French company that created animated TV shows. It was first known as Saban International Paris until 2002. This studio was once part of a bigger company called Saban Entertainment. By the time it closed in 2009, SIP Animation had produced over 390 hours of animated content, bringing many fun stories to screens around the world.
Even though it had "Saban" in its name, SIP Animation was not directly connected to other Saban companies like Saban International or Saban International Services.
