Boulder Media Limited is an Irish animation studio founded by filmmaker Robert Cullen in 2000. It is currently a subsidiary of Australian media company Princess Productions.

History

Cullen founded Boulder Media in 2000.[2] In July 2016, it became a subsidiary of Hasbro.[1] Boulder Media opened a second location in August 2017 in Dublin on Claremont Road.[3]

On 7 May 2019, Hasbro and Boulder Media announced a new animation film studio to be started. The companies bid on an old ferry terminal for the studio, but was turned down by the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.[4]

In 2022, Hasbro sold Boulder Media to Australian media company Princess Productions, known for producing adult animation series Smiling Friends, Yolo Crystal Fantasy, and Koala Man under its Bento Box Entertainment joint venture Princess Bento.[5]
