The World's Leading Creator of Animatronic & Model Animals

Here at Animal Makers, we truly love animals. When watching tv, commercials, films, games and art; we are looking for the animals. Every single crew member here loves animals. Before being hired, they were creating animals in their garages, home studios and at school.

For the past 25 years, Animal Makers has been providing the finest, animatronic animals, birds, reptiles, insects, fish and fantasy animals for films, television, and commercials. Amazing pets that talk, animate and entertain are created here. Salem (the talking cat featured in "Sabrina the Teenage Witch"), Budweiser's croaking frogs, along with hundreds of others have been designed, built and performed by the AMI's talented crew.

Hollywood has kept this boutique studio working steadily on over 4,000 individual shows. Visit our web site at www.animalmakers.com and either select the " Ad Agency Portfolio", " Commercial Portfolio", " Director Portfolio", " Film Portfolio", " Location-Based Entertainment Portfolio", " Print Portfolio", " Suits Portfolio" or the " Television Portfolio" to see some of the many shows served. You can also see what others have said about our work.

In Hollywood, you are either "the best", or "don't call us, we'll call you"

Animal lovers all over the world proudly display our works in their homes, places of business, stores, bars, and even casinos. Sure, there are plenty of places to buy cheap animal replicas. That's not our style. Nobody does it like we do it. These replicas are true to life in every detail with the audience's eyes checking our every project closely.

You are welcome to take a virtual stroll through our collections. There must be something you can find here, that exists nowhere else in the world. You can make sure of that by adding your own taste to our existing works. Simply order any of the animal replicas listed and tell us what you want in color, hair length, pose, animation or other details.

IF YOU CAN IMAGINE IT, WE CAN BUILD IT

Our goal is to deliver the most interesting part of your collection or display.

Visit any of the animal links here to buy custom work done to your taste. The resulting work will be the finest animal replica in your collection.

Other artificial animal companies may make "limited editions" (usually of 1,000 or more). Each of the items offered in the Animal Makers catalog are created here, in Southern California. "One of a kind" is the only description that fits these works of art. Our artists come from many years of experience serving top filmed productions.

This individualized work is not cheap, and is better appreciated in person. Most of our collectibles are the finest available in the world. This is museum quality work for anyone who can appreciate fine art.

If we are building something special for you, our " web reporting" service will be included. You will be assigned a secure page in which to view the progress of your commissioned work. This way, you will be assured to get exactly what you are looking for.

Feel free to call us at 805-527-6200, or email us at info@animalmakers.com to discuss your project.

You will love the work you order on this site.
I guarantee it.
