ALT Animation

ALT Animation are proud to be sponsoring the P7 ‘Lions’ rugby team’s end of season tour to Italy. The team are looking forward to rounding off an incredibly impressive season by taking part in the 10th Pino Valle di Imperia Tournament in Imperia, Italy on the 1st June where they will take on teams from all over Italy, including Fiamme Pro from Rome, A.S.D. Moncalieri from Turin and Superba Rugby From Genoa. In addition to the tournament, the Bangor Lions will also take on Imperia Rugby, the mini rugby section for Union Riviera Rugby, in the second annual Columbanus Cup which was established last year by both Bangor and Imperia Minis as part of the Columbanus Project. Bangor Lions will be looking to bring the trophy back to Bangor for the first time.

The team was honoured to have Ulster and Irish 7s rugby player, Aaron Sexton present them with their jerseys and kit ahead of their tour. Aaron, himself a former Bangor mini-rugby player a few short years ago, wished the team well as they embarked on their once-in-a-lifetime trip to represent Bangor, Ulster and Ireland on the international stage.

If anyone is looking to support the Lions on their tour, and give themselves a chance of a great prize you still buy tickets to the P7s ‘Great Pottery Scrum Down’. Local pottery sensation Donna Bloye of .ni.pottery, who was recently crowned champion of Channel 4’s ‘Great Pottery Throw Down’ has kindly donated an exclusive prize to help raise funds for the tour. Tickets are still on sale at the following link -

The draw will be made by the team at the airport on the 31st May as they depart for Italy.

Good luck to the Bangor Lions!

We are pleased to announce that we have received an international business development award from the UK Global Screen Fund.

Many thanks to the BFI and DCMS for their support and we are excited about working with them to grow the company over the coming years.

And congrats to our friends at Italic Pig and Wild Child Animation who also received awards.

Look forward to seeing the screen sector continue to grow with this much needed support.

Well, that’s a wrap on Sullivan Sails. And what better way to mark the end of the series than a private screening of Elizabeth Banks’ tour de force ‘Cocaine Bear’. What a movie! A big thanks to all of our NI crew for all of their amazing work over the last year. Hope to work with you all again some time very soon.

We are delighted that ‘Mimi’s World’ has been nominated for an Irish Animation Award in the 'Best VFX in Animation’ category! It’s an honour to be nominated alongside such amazing projects as ‘The Cup Head Show’, ‘My Father’s Dragon’, ‘The Imagination Machine’ and ‘Wendell and Wild’.

Proud of our team for doing such an amazing job of the VFX on the series and the fine folks over at who worked on the series with us. And thanks to for giving us the opportunity to work on her wonderful show and the team at for helping us get it across the line! And not forgetting for all their support which helped us bring the show to Northern Ireland.

Congrats to all of the amazing Northern Irish talent that have been nominated for other Irish Animation Awards
