Nelvana is a Canadian animation studio and children and teens’ multimedia company owned by Corus Entertainment. Founded in July 30, 1971, it was named by founders Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive A. Smith after a Canadian comic book superheroine created by Adrian Dingle in the 1940s. The company's production logo and mascot is a Polar Bear looking at the North Star. Most of its films, shows and specials are based on licensed properties, mainly children's literature, but original programming is also part of its roster. It ventured into the world of live action from its establishment and continues to do so.
Nelvana also distributed internationally two Nickelodeon shows: Taina and The Fairly OddParents both for Disney Channel in 2003 instead of Nickelodeon. As of 2001, its library comprises more than 1,650 cumulative half-hours of original programming. The company has international offices in France, Ireland and Japan.
