Nickelodeon Animation Studio

Nickelodeon Animation Studio Inc. (also known as Nickelodeon Animation, and on-screen known as Nickelodeon Productions), is an American animation studio owned by Paramount Global through the Nickelodeon Group. It has created many original animated television programs for Nickelodeon, such as ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', ''The Fairly OddParents'', ''Rugrats'', ''Avatar: The Last Airbender'', and ''The Loud House'', among various others. Since the 2010s, the studio has also produced its own series based on preexisting IP purchased by Paramount Global, such as ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' and ''Winx Club''. In November 2019, Nickelodeon Animation Studio signed a multiple-year output deal for Netflix, which will include producing content, in both new and preexisting IP, for the streaming platform, while also doing so for Paramount+.

The studio was founded in 1992 under the name Games Animation Inc. as a subsidiary of a pre-existing company named Games Productions. It oversaw the production of three animated programs for Nickelodeon: ''Doug'', ''Rugrats'' and ''The Ren & Stimpy Show''. In 1992, Nickelodeon began work on Games Animation's first fully in-house series, ''Rocko's Modern Life''. Games Animation produced much of the network's mid-1990s output in partnership with other animation companies like Klasky Csupo. In 1998, the studio moved from Studio City, California to Burbank with the construction of a new facility. It was renamed Nickelodeon Animation Studio and later Nickelodeon Studios Burbank. In 1999, a second facility in New York City was opened, named Nickelodeon Animation Studio New York. Provided by Wikipedia
