Not officially confirmed but Nelvana, one of Canada's most storied animation studios, appears to have quietly closed down on Friday, yet another casualty of Corus Entertainment's struggle to survive.
Old Nelvana production logo. FortierMorghan on Twitter: There is no news about this. No announcements. But Nelvana closed its doors today. My dad worked there. It was, to a great extent, the playground I grew up in. It breaks my heart where the industry is going. This company deserved better announcement around this. Better celebration of its contribution to the Canadian entertainment system. But just…. nothing. Twitter conversation: Jason the Cartoon Fan on January 17: Nelvana is in serious danger of going defunct, with its assets folded into the rest of its parent company Corus Entertainment. jenbrained on August 31: Closed its doors on Friday. One of Canadas oldest and most prolific animation studios, produced hundreds of works, just gone in a snap. Canadian media is in a real crisis and it’s gonna get worse Amethyst Deceiver replies: Holy shit *the* nelvana? Half of the stuff on kids TV in the late nineties was produced there jenbrained replies: Yep. Many crew members have ended their last productions or are in the midst of closing up shop. Super super sad :/ Mix of streaming taking over and incompetent Canadian telecom companies bleeding money. Huge loss to the animation scene here Voice actor Deven Mack on Twitter: With 54 years of history yet no major fanfare, Nelvana Ltd. closed its doors this past week. Some know this animation studio for their work on Rock & Rule, Star Wars Holiday Special, Droids and Ewoks. I knew them for incredible 90s shows that captured my imagination as a child. As a teen in 2006, Nelvana gave me my first foray into professional voice over with Lab Rat in Grossology, my first and only anime roles as Zeo in Beyblade: Metal Masters and Wynton Bakugan: Battle Planet, along with countless other productions up until this past year.

Today, I'm voting to protect the people I love. I want people to have access to free health, mental, social services and dental care. I want 2SLGBTQI+ , neurodivergent, autistic, immigrant and minority friends to not live in fear of deportation or worse. 🧵

With all the drama with the states over trade wars and annexation it's starting to feel like the plot of a shitty teen CW show. It makes no sense, the writing is bad, the hot character (Trudeau) left the show and it's just chaos for the sake of chaos.

Nice to see someone outside of Canada take the threats to Canada, Greenland and Panama seriously.

I know things are crazy with Trump right now, but I was wondering if at some point you'd consider talking to artists about the state of the animation/entertainment industry?

Open AI big mad DeepSeek used their work without permission. This is the Schadenfreude I needed today.
I hope Open AI burns to the ground and all their employees face food and shelter insecurity.
