Nelvana was not initially involved in the production of ''Donkey Kong Country'', but it was approached by French studio [[Medialab]] for assistance<ref name="Retrojunk">[http://web.archive.org/web/20081227060342/http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/430-donkey-kong-country/ Retrojunk page for Donkey Kong Country] (August 5, 2008). Erika Strobel's comment is under the username "canuckgirl1966" (Retrieved April 24, 2016)</ref>. Medialab had acquired the rights to do a ''Donkey Kong Country'' series, but fired the original writers as they turned in scripts that were judged terrible and unacceptable for a children's program<ref name="Retrojunk"/>. Since Medialab had already produced storyboards for ten of the scrapped scripts, Nelvana decided to hire a freelancer to write new episode around the storyboards as well as hire other writers to do new episodes. The company later purchased the rights to the show from Medialab<ref name="Retrojunk"/> and produced a second season for Fox with Hong Guang Animation. | |||
