The origin of Xilam is closely related to the beginning of Gaumont Television, launched in early 1990. Programs such as 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. A second feature film, Lucky Luke - Go West was released in 2007.
