OLM, Inc. and OLM Digital, Inc. (Japanese: 株式会社オー・エル・エム Kabushiki-gaisha OLM), formerly Oriental Light and Magic, is a Japanese animation studio founded in 1994, located in Tokyo, Japan. OLM is responsible for animating several Pokémon productions and series, as well as the Pokémon movies, and the Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 Animated Trailer. The title is partially derived from George Lucas's visual effects company Industrial Light and Magic (also known as "ILM"), which is a subsidiary of Lucas's production company, Lucasfilm. Since ILM is widely considered to be the greatest visual effects company in the entire worldwide film business, mainly because the company has broken ground in almost every visual effects area imaginable in film, OLM was given that name as a homage to the legendary visual effects house.
