Xilam Animation

Xilam Animation, commonly referred to as simply Xilam, is a French animation studio that makes animated television series and films. The studio is best known across the world for being responsible for the producing of shows such as the Oggy and the Cockroaches franchise, Zig & Sharko, Shuriken School, and Space Goofs. It was founded in 1999 by French animator Marc du Pontavice who is currently the Chairman and CEO of the studio and by his wife Alix du Pontavice. The studio's YouTube channel primarily contains the opening credits of the shows they produced in both English and French in separate videos.

=== Opening credits & demo reel ===
Xilam Animation's channel was created on June 6, 2017. Their first video "Space Goofs - Opening Credits - Season 1 (HD)" was posted on July 20, 2017. Its French counterpart "Les zinzins de l'espace - Générique Saison 1" would be posted after on the same day. These two videos would begin a series of opening credits videos for the two languages. However, The Daltons (French: ) not only have an English and French version, but also a German version, . Additionally, all of the Oggy and the Cockroaches' opening credits that are on the channel are only in English. On September 8, 2017, "XILAM ANIMATION - DEMO REEL 2017" was posted and featured multiple scenes from across the shows produced by Xilam along with a bunch of positive claims made to the studio.

On April 1, 2022, "Interview de Marc du Pontavice 📚🚀 "Destin animé", disponible en librairie" (English: Interview with Marc du Pontavice 📚🚀 “Animated Destiny”, available in bookstores) was posted and it featured an interview with the Xilam co-founder and promoted his book in French. "XILAM ANIMATION | SIZZLE 2022" and "XILAM ANIMATION | SIZZLE 2023" were posted on November 14, 2022, and May 12, 2023, respectively. These videos 
introduced the viewer with a welcome and then like the 2017 demo reel, showed scenes of many shows with nearly the same claims being made towards the studio. The latter video would be the last before inactivity.
