Nelvana Limited is a Canadian entertainment company founded in 1971 and known for its work in children’s animation. It was named by founders Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert, and Clive A. Smith after a Canadian comic book superheroine created by Adrian Dingle in the 1940s. The company’s production logo is a polar bear looking at the North Star. Corus Entertainment, a spin-off from Shaw Communications, has owned the company since September 2000.[4]

The Cat, Pippi Longstocking, Donkey Kong Country, The Terrible Thunderlizards, Franklin, Elliot Moose, and 6teen, along with the North American dubs of the anime series Beyblade, Cardcaptor Sakura, Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, Medabots, and Bakugan Battle Brawlers. The company has also tried miniseries, including Rotting Hills.
Nelvana also distributes internationally four Nickelodeon shows: The Fairly OddParents, Taina, My Life as a Teenage Robot, and Danny Phantom.[5] As of 2001, its library comprises more than 1,650 cumulative half-hours of original programming.[1] The company has international offices in France, Ireland, and Japan.
