Storybook Studios is a Munich-based AI film and entertainment studio, operating as a sister company of PANTALEON Films, one of Germany's leading independent production houses. Founded by Stephanie Schettler-Köhler, Dan Maag, Albert Bozesan, and Tobias M. Huber, the studio uses AI to redefine storytelling across entertainment, commercial production, and corporate content, integrating generative AI at every stage from concept through post-production.Their approach is grounded in the belief that good stories should stand on their own creative merits. Audiences should find the work compelling not because it was made with AI, but despite it. Notable productions include "Space Vets," a fully AI-generated children's animated series about veterinarians in space, and "The Barrier," a short film pushing the limits of AI filmmaking in emotional, conversational storytelling.Storybook Studios has also attracted attention for a viral deepfake mashup of German actor Matthias Schweighöfer and footballer Bastian Schweinsteiger that hit nearly 4 million views. They work across genres from sci-fi to comedy to children's animation and continue to develop their pipeline through PAL Next AG, the Swiss production group they're part of.
