Who we are

Funkhauser Film was founded 2002 by Poul Kofod and the name came from Jesper Østergaard and our first developmet project Bunny Funkhauser, a project about a rockband. Actually the idea came from the fact, that in his younger days, Jesper had a band called Bunny Funkhauser.
Our aim is to develop outstanding quality animation for children and their parents
