WAU Animation

WAU Animation Sdn Bhd is a Malaysian animation studio headquartered in Cyberjaya, Selangor. The studio was established on 18 March 2013 by Usamah Zaid Yasin and focuses on developing and producing original animated content. Its work has included television programming, feature films, short films, branded entertainment, public-service content and commercial partnerships. The studio is most closely associated with Ejen Ali, an animated action and espionage property created for the Malaysian television market. The television series ran from 2016 to 2023, and the franchise expanded into feature films, short-form content, promotional collaborations and experiences connected with external partners. This combination of original intellectual property and cross-platform exploitation is central to WAU Animation's identity. WAU Animation's film work includes Aliff Dalam 7 Dimensi and BoBoiBoy: The Movie, both released in 2016, followed by Ejen Ali: The Movie in 2019. The studio also produced Ejen Ali Misi: Juang, a short film released in December 2020, and was involved in Didi & Friends the Movie in 2023. The reference filmography identifies Soloz: Game of Life and Ejen Ali The Movie 2 as 2025 projects, while Nirnama is listed for 2029. The studio has also announced or listed television projects including Neon Luna and Gelecek, both without a stated release date. Beyond conventional film and television production, WAU Animation has used its characters and stories in partnerships and public-facing initiatives. Listed examples include collaborations involving KidZania Malaysia, AirAsia, Mamee Monster Biskidz, Golden Screen Cinemas and Tenaga Nasional Berhad. These activities indicate a business model that extends animated properties into experiential entertainment, brand communication, educational or safety messaging and consumer engagement. WAU Animation is therefore best understood as an original-content animation company rather than simply a single-show label. Its public profile is anchored by Malaysian-language and Malaysian-market animation, while its filmography and partnerships demonstrate an ambition to build reusable intellectual property across television, cinema, short-form media, live or location-based experiences and commercial campaigns. Publicly available reference material does not establish its current ownership structure, financial performance, executive roster beyond its founder, or a confirmed official website URL.

WAU Animation was established on 18 March 2013 by Usamah Zaid Yasin in Malaysia. The company is based in Cyberjaya, Selangor, a location associated with Malaysia's technology and creative industries. Its stated focus is the creation and development of original animated programmes, including work for TV3 Malaysia. The studio's best-known property is Ejen Ali, an animated television programme that entered its filmography in 2016 and continued through 2023. The series provided the foundation for a wider intellectual-property ecosystem. WAU Animation subsequently expanded the property into cinema with Ejen Ali: The Movie in 2019 and into short-form content with Ejen Ali Misi: Juang in December 2020. The latter included a special appearance by Noor Hisham Abdullah. The Ejen Ali brand also appeared in collaborations with KidZania Malaysia, AirAsia, Mamee Monster Biskidz, Golden Screen Cinemas and Tenaga Nasional Berhad. WAU Animation's broader filmography includes Aliff Dalam 7 Dimensi and BoBoiBoy: The Movie, both associated with 2016, as well as Didi & Friends the Movie in 2023. The listed future or forthcoming projects include Soloz: Game of Life and Ejen Ali The Movie 2 for 2025, the television projects Neon Luna and Gelecek without stated release dates, and Nirnama for 2029. These listings show the studio's activity across original series, feature animation and related screen formats. The company has also used animation in partnership-led and public-facing work. Examples in the available reference material include an Ejen Ali collaboration with KidZania Malaysia, AirAsia initiatives using the hashtags #MisiAspirasiAirAsia, M.A.T.A. SPY JET ASSEMBLE in partnership with AirAsia, an Ejen Ali and Mamee Monster Biskidz collaboration, a fire-safety public-service announcement with GSC connected to Ejen Ali: The Movie, and the #KuasaDiTanganAnda initiative with Tenaga Nasional Berhad. The filmography additionally lists Cerita Anif. Public reference material provides limited information about WAU Animation's ownership, financing, corporate structure, current leadership beyond its founder, distribution arrangements and present operating scale.
