Nelvana is Canada's biggest animation producer. It produced the Donkey Kong Country animated 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 writers it had hired as they turned in scripts that were judged terrible and unacceptable for a children's program[1]. Since Medialab had already produced storyboards for 10 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 episode. The company later purchased the rights to the show from Medialab[1] and produced a second season for Fox with Hong Guang Animation.
