Hudhud Studios

The character studio.

We take characters people already love and build the world around them: a premium animated feature, a global cinema release, a franchise that lasts.

Three features In development Seoul / worldwide

01 / The studio

Hudhud Studios

We start with a character people love. Then we build a world big enough for them to live in.

B.Duck has a shelf. Pucca has a generation. Doge has a global community. The audience is already there. Our job is to give them a story worth the trip to the cinema, and a world that continues after the credits.

We do that with Korean craft, a lean production model, and a technology pipeline that keeps the budget on the screen. The film is the beginning. The franchise is the point.

The film is the beginning. The franchise is the point.

02 / The slate Slate / in development

Three worlds. One slate.

Each film begins with a character who already has an audience. Our job is to give that audience a bigger story, and a bigger screen to see it on.

Feature 01 / B.Duck

In development

B.Duck

The world's most loved duck. The big screen's next star.

B.Duck is a global character brand with a retail footprint most studios would recognize. The film takes him out of the merchandise aisle and into a story built for cinemas.

A dog. A taxi. A planet that was never the point.

A Shiba Inu who dreams of Mars and a memory-less AI truck start the strangest taxi in the world. It is a friendship comedy with a very long road: all the way to the red planet.

03 / The model Character to franchise

From character to franchise.

A Hudhud film moves through five stages. Each one is designed to protect the thing that matters most: the character the audience already loves.

  1. 01

    IP

    Owned and partnered characters with a built-in audience.

  2. 02

    Korean craft

    Writers, directors, animators and production managers who know how to make a film that travels.

  3. 03

    Premium feature

    A 60–90+ minute animated feature built for the big screen.

  4. 04

    Global cinema

    A theatrical release in the markets where the character already has a following, then beyond.

  5. 05

    Franchise

    Sequels, series, merchandise, licensing, consumer products and live experiences.

The film is the beginning.

04 / The production model

Premium at a new scale.

Traditional premium animation takes years and a nine-figure budget. Our model is built around a lean specialist team, reusable assets and an AI-assisted pipeline. The target is a 60–90+ minute feature in about eight months, at a production budget in the US$300K–350K range.

Planning targets, not achieved averages. Final budgets and schedules vary by film, cast and pipeline. The target with K-star voice casting is approximately US$500K. Detailed production economics are shared in partner conversations.

05 / Consumer activation

The release does not end at the cinema.

A Hudhud film is designed to move from the screen into everyday family life: retail activations, limited-edition products, character campaigns, collectibles and cinema promotions. The film creates the moment; the consumer programme extends it.

We are building the activation plan with retail and consumer partners across Asia. Named partnerships will be announced when agreements are signed.

06 / The roadmap

Build. Cinema. Franchise. Scale.

The first film is not the finish line. It is the proof that the model works. The roadmap turns one successful release into a studio that can make the next one, and the one after that.

  1. The Hudhud backlot at night. 01

    Build

    Build the Korean-powered production system: IP development, creative team, production pipeline.

  2. B.Duck arriving in the harbour city. 02

    Cinema

    Launch the first feature. Theatrical release, global cinema, Korean creative talent, audience demand.

  3. The world of Pucca. 03

    Franchise

    Build the IP: merchandise, licensing, characters, consumer partnerships.

  4. The world of Doge & Kaka. 04

    Scale

    Build the global studio: more features, more IP, more markets, multiple productions.

The horizon is a beginning.

07 / The invitation

Bring us a character. We will bring the world.

We are looking for IP holders, co-production partners, distributors and brands who want to build a film that lasts longer than a release date.
