History
The studio was founded on 1 August 1988 by animators Stefan Fjeldmark,
Egmont purchased 50% of A. Film and moved A. Film under the umbrella of its film division, Nordisk Film
. Stefan Fjeldmark left A. Film in 2008 to pursue a career in live-action. Several animators who began their careers at A. Film became well established at the Disney and DreamWorks studios. Since about 1995, the company's logo is a grinning pig, designed by Finn Skovgaard.
In 2010, A. Film A/S split into two companies: A. Film Production A/S which continues independent film production and is now located at
Munich, Germany
(2006–2009).
The A. Film companies also worked as a subcontractor on 28 films including All Dogs Go To Heaven 2, Quest for Camelot and Eight Crazy Nights. In 2007, A. Film A/S provided services on Disney's Goofy: How to Hook Up Your Home Theater
.
A. Film Production A/S has recently released several feature films including Niko2: Little Brother, Big Trouble, Albert, Alfie Atkins: Hocus Pocus and the stop-motion film Miffy the Movie.
