Little Witch Academia is produced by a Japanese animation studio.
 A second short film partially funded through Kickstarter, Little Witch Academia: The Enchanted Parade, was released in October 2015
 Japanese anime TV series became very successful internationally since the 1960s, and European producers looking for affordable cel animators relatively often started co-productions with Japanese studios, resulting in hit series such as Barbapapa (The Netherlands/Japan/France 19731977), Wickie und die starken Mnner/  (Vicky the Viking) (Austria/Germany/Japan 1974), and The Jungle Book (Italy/Japan 1989)
