New animation studio Intelligent Animation (IA) officially launched on June 23, announcing that its first two productions will be animated adaptations of webtoons licensed from Tapas Entertainment.
The Los Angeles-based studio confirmed that The Dragon Prince’s Bride and The Prince’s Personal Physician are both set to premiere later this year on aTwist, an upcoming short-form streaming platform.
Series Synopses
The Dragon Prince’s Bride, based on the novel by C.J. Young, follows a young woman living as a slave whose life is upended after she discovers an injured stranger in the woods. The Prince’s Personal Physician centers on a female surgeon who is transported to a kingdom where women are forbidden from practicing medicine.
Tapas Entertainment Weighs In
Mike Zhu of Tapas Entertainment praised Intelligent Animation for remaining faithful to the source material throughout production, saying the company is excited to see both series come to life.
Additional Projects in Development
Intelligent Animation also revealed several other projects currently in development based on Tapas titles, including Prince of Silk and Thorn and Governess of a Tyrant, as well as original and licensed properties spanning science fiction, horror, romance, and children’s entertainment.
Founders and Production Philosophy
The studio was founded by Mark Stern, former president of Syfy, and Lloyd Braun, former chairman of ABC Entertainment. Intelligent Animation says it blends traditional animation techniques with visual effects and AI-assisted production tools, while keeping artists “firmly in control of the creative process.” The studio has stated it does not use AI to generate scripts, original artwork, or voice performances.
All of the studio’s productions will debut on aTwist, a new microseries platform co-founded by Braun alongside Jana Winograde and Susan Rovner.
