ANIMATION: SUPERPOWERED! Hero4Hire is a 3x Emmy-nominated animation studio and full-service production company specializing in motion design and animation — 2D, 3D, mixed media, VFX, content development…we do it all!

For over a decade, H4H has built a reputation for stylistic adaptability, collaboration, humor, and creativity across multiple project types. Our Motion Design team creates jaw-dropping creative for some of the world’s most recognizable brands, while our Character Animation crew is equally adept with beloved characters and original concepts.

  • Founded in 2009, H4H co-produced the 3x Emmy-nominated web series Fizzy's Lunch Lab for PBS Kids. The studio soon added Motion Design to its offerings, earning a reputation for stylistic adaptability across diverse industries including tech, finance, education, toys & games, pharmaceuticals, and consumer products.

  • Headquartered in Boston, H4H has built a reputation as the top animation studio in New England. After the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted – well, everything – we embraced the work-from-anywhere model to expand our talent pool and client base to some of the world’s most recognizable brands including Hasbro, Wayfair, Paypal, and the NFL.

  • Since 2020, we have animated all of the Arthur digital shorts tackling topical events from COVID-19 safety to racial justice. We also produced the animation for Sallie Mae's HACKED series, Wayfair’s 20th anniversary, Sesame Workshop's Magical Car Races, and CBS Sports’ NFL and World Cup packages.

    As part of our long-standing relationship with Hasbro Gaming, we designed anthropomorphic versions of their classic games, which have been used in multiple commercial spots and produced as Happy Meal toys. We also designed and illustrated all of the cards for their new tabletop party game, Love is Dead.

    Other projects include the Emmy-winning special Wally’s Opening Day for the Boston Red Sox, spots for diverse clients ranging from PayPal to Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and the Webby Award-winning series Storybooth — which has over 1.4 billion views!

  • Hero4Hire was originally founded to produce the animation for a series we co-created, the 3x Emmy-nominated Fizzy’s Lunch Lab on PBS Kids. Since then, we have created and produced original web shorts for Sesame Workshop, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., and our own social channels.

    In 2023, we announced a spinoff company, PRETTY AMAZING, to manage our original IP portfolio and develop, produce, and distribute new content.

    If you’re a show/content creator, we are unfortunately unable to accept unsolicited pitches for acquisition.
