Pros

Once upon a time Nelvana was a name synonymous with excellence in Canadian animation.

Cons

Sadly those days are long gone. Ever since Corus and Astral media breezed into town the studio has turned into an assemby line churning out a slurry of forgettable content. Like Jack FM and everything else Corus has touched it's nothing to be proud of. Here's to ten more years of bland entertainment joylessly assembled in harmony by the least passionate studio in the great white north.

Pros

The people, they were amazing . The talent they had from the animation community was top notch ( for the most part) The shows were solid but talent wasn’t able to flex their muscles to the best of their ability. Their last few CG and 2D productions were amongst their best. After wrapping their final show this summer it will be just licensing and sales. Corus would rather not invest in scripted programming.

Cons

The pay for the 10 years I was there was below par. The company coasted on its reputation. It dipped its toe in YouTube but never pursued it . More initiative should have been given to short form content, TicTock, YouTube etc. streaming content and legacy characters.
