A subsidiary of the company is its animation division, Hyperion Animation Company, Inc. which has produced animated feature films and television series, including its three most successful media franchises ''The Brave Little Toaster'', ''The Itsy Bitsy Spider'' and ''The Oz Kids''. In 1998, the company produced the film ''Playing by Heart'' for Miramax. Also, on December 9, 1998, it signed a deal with Showtime in order to develop a telemovie based on the hit book series ''Bad News Ballet''.

On October 5, 1999, Hyperion, along with toon designer Bruce Smith, launched a joint venture [[Jambalaya Studio]] to produce shows aimed at a black audience. On September 22, 2002, Hyperion Pictures decided to expand into a memoir and a series of pulp novels into feature film production.

The studio has been dormant since 2007 but their website was recently updated in 2019 in where it was under construction. It then returned in 2020.

The company's mascot was Leslie McGroarty from ''Itsy Bitsy Spider'', who appears in its production logo.
