The Five Best Animated Explainer Video Companies in the UK

Adam Shelton

In this article we will be listing the five best animated explainer video companies in the UK. Let’s go!

As you can probably tell, we love animated videos. And as much as we love producing these videos ourselves, we also like to give other animation companies credit for their hard work and astounding creativity. 

Although you could use DIY software to create an animated explainer video, choosing a professional animation company will get you the best result. If they're anything like Squideo, they will have a full team to manage the process for you from start to finish. This includes a dedicated account manager, a script writer, a creative director and a full team of talented animators. This not only saves you time from learning and creating, but the final product makes your brand look great! 

At Squideo, our team is also extremely knowledgeable in digital marketing. So when we create your animated explainer video we don't just make it look great, but we carefully craft your script and direct your visuals to meet your marketing goals, whether your showcasing a product or Saas, explaining a sales process or encouraging customers to get in touch through your website! 


Here's our list of the best 5 animated explainer video companies in the UK:


5. CurveBall Media


Specialising in video animation and video production, Curveball Media are a definite force to be reckoned with within the digital sphere. Just like Squideo, Curveball Media was founded when two entrepreneurial individuals collided to create something super special. The Curveball Media team are very invested in understanding what a brand is trying to achieve through video – which any great animator knows is a key part of the animated video production process. 


Here's a cool short animated video they made for Halloween!




4. Blue Zoo 


BAFTA winners Blue Zoo are one of the UK’s leading video animation studios. With over 20 years’ experience in the bag, these guys know exactly what it takes to create an animated masterpiece. Blue Zoo specialise in top-end animation, so if you want a video from these guys, you need to have a serious budget. Experience is a definite advantage when it comes to creating amazing video explainers; this is mainly due to the fact that years have been spent testing what works and what doesn’t.


Here's a heart-warming, festive animated video they made call Lynx and Birds:




3. YumYum Videos


YumYum Videos are a UK based video animation company that have been running since 2010. With a team of highly experienced animators, the guys at YumYum are dedicated to telling stories through video. What we really love about YumYum is that they put so much thought into every single scene of every single video and it definitely shows. YumYum use a lot of characters within their animations to help bring stories to life, which is something the team here at Squideo like to do also. We will continue to look out for more epic videos by the YumYum team and are excited to see what they create in the future.

2. Explainify


The video animation team spicing up the digital world with top quality animated videos. We love when animators can take a brand and bring it to life, and that’s exactly what Explainfy do. Not only are Explainfy’s animated videos top quality, many of them are extremely educational – which we love!


Here's an explainer video they made for ActualTech Media:


1. Squideo


We couldn’t end the list without mentioning ourselves now could we?! Squideo was founded by Ben Underwood and Adam Shelton back in 2015. Despite there being a fair few explainer video animation companies around at the time, very few of these companies were dedicated to working with smaller businesses that could have really benefited from explainer video advertising – and that’s where we came in. Fast forward 5 years and we’re working with a range of businesses of all different sectors, and all different sizes.


But what makes us one of the best animated explainer video companies?


Well, we’re a video animation company that works extremely closely with our clients to make sure we achieve exactly what they want when it comes to their animated video. Our clients are involved with every step of the production journey for maximum input and results.


We also one of the most cost-effective animated video companies out there. Our digital marketing expertise allows us to place our focus on creating videos which generate you a positive ROI, so we price our videos with your business in mind.
