Xilam (pronounced as Cy-lam) is a French production company that specializes in animated series and feature films. Marc du Pontavice founded it in 1999 after he left Gaumont Multimédia.
The logo features a white stick-figure like man, named Mr. X, walking across the screen, holding a paintbrush and a paintcan. He paints a red X on the floor. As Mr. X backs away, the camera zooms in on the X. The gray letters, "ilam" appear on the left of the X. That forms the company's name.
In other variants, the logo uses Gaumont in Space but instead of Gaumont, uses Xilam version.
Programs such as Shuriken School,Space Goofs, and Oggy and the Cockroaches were internationally successful. In 2003, the company released its first animated feature film, the CGI-based Kaena: The Prophecy, and, in 2005, announced an animated film based on The New Adventures of Lucky Luke. In 2012, they announced Oggy and the Cockroaches: The Movie.
