Company Profile

COMPANY PROFILE

 Our company was founded in 1971 as a film production studio. Over the years we have produced many films of many types, both in live-action and in animation. We are but probably best known as a long established animation company.

Our animation has taken many forms, from television commercials, to specials, to documentaries to theatrical cartoon shorts and more. We have done traditional animation since l97l and got into computer animation early, in l983.

We have produced films for just about every market, and we enjoy that diversity. We have produced for theatrical, television, educational, corporate and other markets. Out of our animation experience came graphics and illustration, and we were the first to have a daily black and white weekday and color weekend comic strip syndicated in Canada in newspapers across the country. We are about to launch a new comic book series in 2000.

The vast animation collection of everything from animation art to posters, to books to buttons-you name it-it numbers over 20,000 items at least and has been drawn upon as the source of exhibitions and film retrospectives for The Animation Museum, which travels around the world hosting these events in museums, cultural centers and the like by invitation.

Our company has therefore always been reaching out to those interested in animation. We hold regular screenings, write articles in magazines, teach animation at animation schools, guest lecture at others, attend conventions and help young filmmakers. We are frankly proud to have given new young talent a chance in this business and today are as proud of our alumni who have gone on to work all over the world in many creative fields as we are of those who are still working and learning with us. This website will have a modest beginning, but we look forward to doing some exciting things in the year ahead and beyond. It would be in keeping with our constant creative quest.
