MoonScoop Group

MoonScoop S.A., also known as the MoonScoop Group, was a French television production company and animation company that created and published animated television series. Its corporate headquarters were located in Paris, France, along with offices in the United Kingdom and the United States. It was established in 2003 and it is most famously known for Code Lyoko and its open-ended sequel series, Code Lyoko: Evolution.

==History== One of MoonScoop's predecessors was France Animation, founded in 1984, and based in Paris. France Animation was created by SOFIRAD who was in charge of its finances, but was controlled by its subsidiary Radio Monte Carlo, which adopted the name RMC Audiovisuel. It went on to become the original producers of Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea. In 1987, SOFIRAD sold the animation studio, following the sale of RMC and Europe 1, the holding's main radio stations. In September 2003, the company was acquired from its then-owner Wanadoo by Antefilms Production—an outfit created by Christophe Di Sabatino and Benoît Di Sabatino in 1990. Both companies' distribution arms were merged in March 2004 to form the present day MoonScoop.
