Claynosaurz is a community-owned animated IP and digital collectibles project founded by former VFX artists from Sony Pictures, Animal Logic, and Framestore.

The team's stated vision is to "collaborate with emerging talent from the creator economy and develop original transmedia projects that expand the Claynosaurz universe beyond the screen."
