Zodiak Kids & Family is a French company that makes TV shows for kids and families. It is based in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. The company used to be known by other names like Marathon Media and Marathon Productions.
It was started in February 1990 by Olivier Brémond and Pascal Breton. Later, Vincent Chalvon-Demersay and David Michel joined to help create animated shows. The company became very well known for popular animated series such as Totally Spies! and Martin Mystery.
