Bento Box Entertainment, the Fox Entertainment-owned animation studio behind
Bob’s Burgers, is strengthening its ties with Australian production company Princess Pictures. The two have joined forces to launch Princess Bento Studio, a new animation studio based in Melbourne, Australia.

The venture is backed by the Victorian Screen Incentive, a new initiative from the state of Victoria (where Melbourne is located). Animation productions that spend at least AUD$1 million (USD$775,000) in the territory can apply for a simple grant.
Victoria's screen industry is poised for growth in jobs and projects as we safely recover from the pandemic with a new, globally focused animation studio.
