How Nelvana Took Over The Cartoon World.

[@BMCBroManClash]

The winged character from Cardcapters Sakura was voiced by Matt Hill (most notable for voicing Ed in Ed, Edd n Eddy). :) P.S: Keep on kicking ass, Red!

[@Angie2343]

Matt Hill also voices Max in one episode of Sonic Underground.

[@BMCBroManClash]

That is radical! :)

[@jeremythomas7066]

Cardcaptors was my favorite anime. At first when it came to the US, I mistaken Sakura on cardcaptors for Sakura in Sega Sakura Wars!!

It is good that Nelvana knows how to keep their greed under control and keep being an entertainment company like it is supposed to be. I hope, for their sake, that they keep up the good work and avoid having a downfall like the majority of the companies mentioned by Stagehands Inn.

[@WubbaizyShipper1]

I still can't believe that the same company that made a wholesome a cartoon like Maggie also made "I'll shower you with *coconut cream pies"*

[@KaminoKatie]

That studio is so unserious

[@Lunar_WaveYT]

Fun fact: While Fairly OddParents is a Paramount franchise, Nelvana was an international distribution partner for the first 4 seasons, and the first half of season 5. Disney Channel/XD was a broadcast partner, due to Nickelodeon being Pay TV while Disney was free, or Nick flat out being unavailable in some regions.

[@holamundosoy..]

i don't know about other regions but in latin america Disney broadcasted the fairly odd parents before Disney XD launched through Jetix (the show was even infamous here because the channel wouldn't stop airing MARATHONS of the episodes Nelvana owned), there are even rumours that fox kids aired it when Disney bought the sub branch company that backed Fox Kids it is an interesting case, the fairly odd parents IS from nickelodeon legally but if i'm not wrong they only own the international distribution of seasons 6-10, even in their own channel they only aired said seasons

as a Canadian I agree

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

@finland4ever55 New Jersey (Philadelphia area, to be exact) viewer here. Us Americans need to stop disrespecting the medium. I am a huge fan of some Canadian cartoons. As for Nelvana ones, I love Wayside, Detentionaire, and DN Ace. Y'all hit different with unique stories, styles, talent, and theme music. The American majority just can't accept something that is (legitimately) better than the mainstream Canadian toons. Heck, Teletoon skewing towards more Americanized content is one nail in their own coffin. I love Canadian cartoons, and I hope that y'all can make "the lights go off," as Skye Sweetnam famously declared on the Wayside theme tune. Now, if only more people heard about the Lyon Smith banger that can splice through reality TV... AKA: DN Ace. Cheers, Shane.

Nelvana was a HUGE HUGE part of mt childhood growing up in Canada in the late 90s early 2000s.

[@usernamegenerico]

I'm SO GLAD to see that Cardcaptors showed up so much in this video! I've only seen 9 episodes myself, but I've been obsessed with the show due to its localization and soundtrack. It's so cool that you're a fan of Cardcaptors in specific as well; I tend to only enjoy the old 90s/00s dubs (think DiC Sailor Moon or Mew Mew Power). Seeing Cardcaptors get 3 whole sections of the video made my day. By the way, I learned more from this video than I did from reading the Wikipedia article. Your videos are amazing! P.S., I'll give you a random Cardcaptors fact I know, it cost Nelvana $100,000 an episode to make.

[@christophersnyder1532]

What? No The Raccoons, that was a great series, plus it had Lisa Lougheed's Run With Us ending theme! Nelvana also produced the fully rotoscoped series, Delta State. I also loved the Melissa Altro staring series Pippi Longstocking. Also used to watch Cardcaptors. Great list thanks for the memories. Take care, and all the best.

[@justinhillenburg9286]

Well, Nickelodeon, in some countries, happens to be in a premium cable package, as opposed to Disney, Cartoon Network, and other cartoon channels that some countries would offer.

[@Lunar_WaveYT]

All seasons are owned by Paramount, Nelvana was only an international distribution partner, and Disney was only a broadcast partner, due to Nickelodeon either being unavailable in a certain country or Disney being free while Nickelodeon was Pay TV.

Nelvana is a huge part of my childhood, especially Little Bear, Franklin, and Care Bears [fond memories of the 1980s series and Journey to Joke A Lot on DVD]. Hey Red, will you one day cover the interesting history of Will Vinton Studios? A company that had so much potential, and for a brief period of time during the late 80s and early 90s actually was successful, only for everything to go wrong, Phill Knight to takeover the company, and the studio became Laika at the expense of Will Vinton himself. In the 90s, Will even had plans to create a theme park called Claymation Station! There's a documentary called Claydream that I highly recommend, but be warned, it's one of the most bittersweet stories ever.

[@HatchedDragon]

Interesting, I didn't know the "Star Wars" character "Boba Fett" was introduced in the "Nelvana" produced cartoon titled, "The Star Wars: Holiday Special" 3:28. Great history. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@notthegreatestdetective]

i had no idea how many shows i grew up with were made or owned by the same company, definitely watched inspector gadget, little bear, magic school bus and care bears growing up, and cardcaptors with my sister whenever it was on, the dubbing was weird but to this day i've not experience the japanese version so don't know what i'm missing out on

[@thesudriana016]

The two Nelvana shows that are my favorites are Magic School Bus and Cyberchase in which they were strong at the time. Then years later, while they did animate Thomas & Friends (but mostly All Engines Go in which most of us had come to despise for how bad Mattel treated the series at this point. I cannot bare to look at the flash animation that could hurt my eyes. I know the world of Sodor is supposed to be bright - but not this extreme!).

[@inuyasha989]

[@devonjeffers5898]

Unlike most of the other companies we talked about on this channel, I'm glad Nelvana still knows what's the right thing to and what isn't. Something I can't exactly say the same to a lot of other corporate beings I know of. There's something about the companies up north that makes me appreciate them wholeheartedly, maybe its because of how much they were part of my childhood but that's just me.

It's was the reason that nelvana brought the beyblade original and metal series. As well as Bakugan series!!!

Hi Red! This was a good video. Will you do the history of Will Vinton Studios one day? They were famous for The California Raisins, Domino's Pizza's The Noid, and the M&M Spokescandies, but there was a lot more then just them. For example, they did a faithful adaption of French classic story "The Little Prince" and the movie "The Adventures Of Mark Twain". The company was at its most successful in the late 80s but started to struggle afterwords. Phill Knight bought the company and FIRED WILL FROM HIS OWN STUDIO, and the company became Laika. There's a documentary called Claydream that I highly recommend checking out, it's a very bittersweet story. I think more people need to know the history of Will Vinton Studios.

A more recent Nelvana show would be Zokie of Planet Ruby. I bring this up not just because of how Nelvana made it, but because of how Nick totally decimated it upon sight. It cements how much Nick’s relationship with Nelvana has gone downhill since The Backyardigans went off the air, which I think can also be a reason for the studio’s downfall. If one of their more reliable collaborators won’t air their shows after decades of doing just that, who can they trust? Ruby deserved better. Ruby deserved the world. Because trust me - she is adorable. #JusticeforPlanetRuby
