History[edit]
Nelvana was not initially involved in the production of the Donkey Kong Country television series, but it was approached by French studio Medialab for assistance.[1] Medialab had acquired the rights to make a Donkey Kong Country series, but the company 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 episodes around the storyboards as well as hire other writers to make 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.
