n Yoruba folktales, an Ado Ato is a container of powerful spells—vessels of wonder used to transform the world. At Ado Ato Pictures, we channel that same magic into storytelling: using the power of cutting-edge technology to create stories that bend our current reality and imagine a new future — through film, animation, TV, and immersive technologies.
We are an Emmy® Award-winning studio that combines artistry and innovation, merging animation, documentary, narrative film, games, and emerging technologies to create stories you can feel—and worlds you can step into. Our work evokes a sense of wonder, rooted in culture, beauty, bold experimentation, and an awareness of our interconnected world.
Our collaborations include industry leaders like Netflix, PBS Frontline, and the Sundance Institute. Our projects have been showcased at premier venues, including the Tribeca Film Festival, Annecy, MoMA, the DuSable Museum of African American History, the National Gallery of Indonesia, and the Amsterdam Museum. Publications like Forbes, Vogue, and The Guardian have highlighted us as pioneers reshaping the future of media.
