Les Cartooneurs Associés also known as Les Cartooneurs was a French animation studio most notable for creating the animated TV series Martin Morning. The studio became a subsidiary of French publishing company Média-Participations in 2002.[1]

The studio was established in 1982 by film director and executive producer Denis Olivieri.[2]

By June 2022, Les Cartooneurs Associés' parent company Média-Participations who acquired the former twenty years prior had brought all of their Paris and Angouleme-based animation production labels together which included Les Cartooneurs Associés into a new production umbrella group named Ellipse Animation with Les Cartooneurs Associés being folded into the new animation production group.[3]
