Creator / Big Star

Big Star Enterprise (also known as Big Star Plus, Studio BS, or simply BSP) is a Seoul-based South-Korean animation studio.

Since its establishment in 1986 by animators Tae-Soo Kim and Larry Smith, Big Star has made a name for itself for working not only in the traditional animation industry, but also specializing in Flash animation, as well as owning a computer animation and special effects studio called AZworks.
