Old Man Viska and his team have been rocking out the animation world since before there was nothing.
An independent Melbourne animation studio since 1980 — series, commercials, explainers, music videos and just about anything that needs to move.
Viskatoons is an independent animation studio established in 1980, in Richmond, Melbourne. From humble beginnings as Mickey Duck Animation Co., the studio has grown into an experienced independent production house.
We offer the full range for screen media — animation, motion graphics, design, storyboarding, content creation and post-production. Our experienced team works across broadcast, online, advertising, education and corporate media.
Old school, new school, cool and hot work streams from the team. The studio embraces one philosophy: talent rules. Experience plus talent results in great work.
