Atkinson Film-Arts

Atkinson Film-Arts

Atkinson Film-Arts was an animation studio based in Ottawa, Canada, which closed in 1989. The company is best known for the first two Care Bears television specials, "The Land Without Feelings" and "The Freeze Machine", and the four syndicated specials that inspired "The Raccoons" (as well as first and second season episodes of the show itself). Atkinson also produced the 1987-88 series "The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin"

They also worked on the 1981 sci-fi anthology, "Heavy Metal" and also the "Body Electric" Movie video featuring Rush (band).

The company acquired one of Canada's oldest film studios, Crawley Films (and its Graphic Films subsidiary), in 1982 for the price of just C$1. [http://www.filmreferencelibrary.ca/index.asp?layid=46&csid1=153&navid=46 ]

Some artists at Atkinson who worked on the failed 1986 direct-to-video production, "The Meerkats", went on to join Disney's animation department. They are believed to have created Timon, a character from "The Lion King", with their earlier efforts in mind. [http://www.thegremlin.com/CELMAIL.archives0999.html ]
