Marlou Films Productions (also known as Marlou Films) is a French stop-motion animation studio founded in 1985 by Christophe Barrier and Frédéric Clémençon in Bordeaux, France. Marlou offers activities related to image education, often creating animated films and fiction with children. Their animated projects have been broadcast worldwide on networks such as Cartoon Network, France 3 and ABC Kids.

The studio is best remembered for its 1991 show Soupe Opéra,[1] which had garnered a cult following due to its creepy visuals and soundtrack,[2] performed by famous musician Garlo, who worked on all projects for the studio.[3] Other people involved in many Marlou Films projects included Catherine Garcia as animator and background artist, as well as Studio CIP[4] for the sound design, as all of their sound effects come from Sound Ideas, Françoise Gabouriaud as production assistant, and Corinne Borrot as production director.

In recent years, Marlou Films moved their headquarters from Bordeaux to Montussan, France.
