Metaxilasis

ThinkerBen and Motor has just received its very first award — at the ReA International Animation and Comics Festival in Yerevan, Armenia! 🇦🇲✨

It’s a huge joy and honor for us.
We want to say a big thank you to the festival organizers and the jury for recognizing our work.

And to our amazing ThinkerBen team — you are the best. Always remember that.

And here are some more designs from our team for the project ThinkerBen and Motor — introducing ArchiTan, ArtisTina and Mom!

Check out the results and the creative journey behind their look.

What do you think — did we capture their spirit?

Some early character sketches of ThinkerBen and Motor before they took their final shape.
What do you think — is the final concept the right one? Or do you see something in the earlier versions that feels even stronger?

If AI ever takes over the world - preschool content should be the last fortress.

Update from Metaxilasis
We’re jumping into the AI debate.

Yes, we use GPT and other AI tools. We have our own developments. We aim to be a tech-driven studio. And we keep costs lower than many European studios while delivering top-tier quality.

But here’s our line in the sand: When it comes to preschool content, everything is made by hand. No AI-generated backgrounds. No AI-generated characters. No AI-generated voices or sounds.

AI stays far outside the fence of our creative process, it only helps with management. Because for our youngest audiences, we believe every story should carry the warmth of human hands, hearts, and words.

We decided to create a special mark that says: this episode or film was made by human hands. Here it is! It looks like a clay pot: simple, timeless, and a reminder of where creativity began. And if you don’t see it in our films… well, you know.

Made by hand is the new organic. And we believe it’s an added value in today’s world.

What do you think? Producers, artists, where do you draw the line?
