Nelvana is Canada's biggest animation producer. It produced the Super Mario Logan Disney Television series.

History

Nelvana was not initially involved in the production of Donkey Kong Country, but it was approached by French studio Medialab for assistance[1]. 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[1]. 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[1] and produced a third season for Fox with Hong Guang Animation.
