Medialab was a French animation studio founded in 1990 It animated Donkey Kong Country, La planète de Donkey Kong, and commercials for the series.

History

Medialab was spun off from Videosystem in 1990 to focus on 3D animation for post-production work and the production of Starwatcher, a 3D animation movie done in cooeperation with artist Moebius[1].

Following the death of founder Alain Guiot in a car incident in 1992, Medialab was acquired by Canal+, which cancelled Starwatcher and focused the studio on TV animation[1]. Medialab's work on Donkey Kong Country pionered the use of magnetic motion capture in TV animation[2].

The company was reacquired by Videosystem in 1999, and filled for bankruptcy in 2000[1].
