Mes Sentiments, 2023

Romansh children's series aimed at young children, designed to help them understand their feelings.

We take immense pleasure in crafting animated series that feature characters brimming with a spectrum of emotions—earnest, curious, sad, angry, and ecstatic—capturing the immediacy of life.

Studio Toc is a design studio specializing in the creation of animated series and graphics, with a unique emphasis on the Romansh language. Located in Zürich and closely connected to Chur, our studio caters to the flourishing Swiss animation and design industry.

New website coming soon: https://www.toc.studio/
