PARTNERS
Nidal Studio collaborates with a network of AI technology and distribution partners to bring its animated projects to life, from short-form micro-dramas to full-length features. Its partnerships span Komiko, Hailuo AI, Anishot, Dreamina AI, Roku, and Imagine Art, each contributing a different role across production, creative development, and distribution. Three of these partners Komiko, Hailuo AI, and Anishot supported the release of “Hatchie: An Innocent Soul,” the world’s first AI-assisted anime feature film, which premiered on December 7, 2025 at Fortress Square Mall, Lahore. Together, these collaborations reflect Nidal Studio’s position at the intersection of traditional anime storytelling and emerging AI animation technology.
Nidal Studio × Roku
Nidal Studio’s content is distributed on Roku, one of the world’s largest streaming platforms, giving the studio’s work a direct channel to global audiences. Currently, one short vertical series and one short film from Nidal Studio’s catalog are available through Roku, extending the reach of the studio’s storytelling beyond social and festival platforms into mainstream streaming distribution. This distribution partnership represents an important step in Nidal Studio’s growth from a project-based animation studio into a distributed content creator with an international audience.
Nidal Studio × Imagine Art

The film was developed and directed by Nidal Studio, with Imagine Art’s technology serving as one of the tools brought in to support specific stages of the visual production process. This partnership reflects Nidal Studio’s approach of selectively integrating AI tools where they strengthen a project, while keeping creative direction and execution centered within the studio itsel
Nidal Studio × Dreamina AI
Nidal Studio uses Dreamina AI as part of its production toolkit across its current slate of projects, integrating it into the studio’s ongoing animation and micro-drama work.

This continuing use reflects Nidal Studio’s broader approach of building its own AI-assisted production pipeline by incorporating the tools that best serve each project.

Komiko, an AI-powered platform for anime and animation creation, partnered with Nidal Studio as a partner on “Hatchie: An Innocent Soul.” The film marked a milestone for both companies as the world’s first AI-assisted anime feature film, premiering on December 7, 2025 at Fortress Square Mall, Lahore.

Nidal Studio × Anishot
Nidal Studio partnered with Anishot to stream “Hatchie: An Innocent Soul,” the world’s first AI-assisted anime feature film, following its theatrical premiere on December 7, 2025 at Fortress Square Mall, Lahore.
