! Tropes applying to their work
* AnimatedAdaptation: Probably what they're best known for. As you can see from the above, most of their cartoons are adaptations of comic books. In fact, it's probably a lot easier to name their animated shows that ''[=aren't=]'' based on comics.
* BreakthroughHit: ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTintin1991'', full stop. The enormous acclaim the series achieved internationally very quickly put the still-fresh Ellipse on the map (thank to their collaboration with the already world-renowned Creator/{{Nelvana}}), and for many fans of French and Canadian animation, it's reputation still has yet to be beaten.
* ProductionPosse:
** Famously collaborated with Creator/{{Nelvana}} during the 80s and 90s on such cartoons as ''WesternAnimation/{{Babar}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTintin1991''. Heck, it was their work on those shows that put them on the map in the first place.
** After their acquisition by Media-Participations, they've done a lot of work with fellow MP subsidies and famous FrancoBelgianComics publishers Dupuis and Dargaud, resulting in stuff like ''WesternAnimation/KidPaddle'', the ''WesternAnimation/{{Yakari}}'' movies, a SpinoffBabies of ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke'', and the 2021 ''WesternAnimation/{{The Smurfs|2021}}'' cartoon.

[[https://www.ellipseanimation.com/ Ellipse Animation]] (also known as Le Studio Ellipse, Ellipse Programme, and Ellipsanime) is a French animation studio based in Paris. It was established in 1987 by Philippe Gildas and Robert Rea.
Ellipse is easily one of the biggest names in the French animation industry, having quickly made a reputation for itself in the early 1990s due to their work on many critically acclaimed French cartoons, like ''WesternAnimation/TroubleWithSophie'' and ''WesternAnimation/PirateFamily''. They are also well known for their hit co-productions with famed Canadian studio Creator/{{Nelvana}}, such as ''WesternAnimation/{{Babar}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Rupert}}'', ''WesternAnimation/BlazingDragons'', and, most famously, ''WesternAnimation/{{The Adventures of Tintin|1991}}''. Their ''Tintin'' animated series in particular has gone down in the eyes of many as one of the greatest cartoons in the history of both the Canadian and European animation industry.
In 2003, the studio was acquired by the French entertainment conglomerate Media-Participations, which itself already owned the FrancoBelgianComics publishing company Dargaud (famed for ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'', ''ComicBook/{{Tintin}}'', and ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke''), and would later acquire Dargaud's longtime rival Dupuis of ''ComicBook/TheSmurfs'' and ''ComicBook/BillyAndBuddy'' fame. Dargaud and Dupuis already had animation studios of their own, established in 1967 and 1959 respectively to produce {{Animated Adaptation}}s of their own properties, such as the 1981 ''WesternAnimation/{{The Smurfs|1981}}'' cartoon (a co-production with Creator/HannaBarbera) and the 1967 movie version of ''WesternAnimation/AsterixTheGaul''. As a result, many of Ellipse's new productions were released in collaboration with and under the Dargaud and Dupuis label, including the 2021 ''WesternAnimation/{{The Smurfs|2021}}'' cartoon, ''WesternAnimation/{{Yakari}}: A Spectacular Journey'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldShow''. As you can tell, many of their productions are adaptations of comic books, ranging from popular Franco-Belgian series and American brands like the above-named works to manga like ''Dream Land'' and even African comics like ''Akissi''. They also produced France's very first animated Youtube series, ''Roger and His Humans'' - and yes, it's based on a comic book (on top of also being the first foray into adult animation).
In 2022, Media-Participations decided to consolidate Ellipse, Dargaud Media, and Dupuis Edition & Audiovisual under the Ellipse Animation label. Previously, Ellipse's productions had been released under Dupuis and Dargaud's labels, but the change meant that now Ellipse would be the name that all previous and future animated works from Dargaud and Dupuis would be known under.
