Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Animation, or MGM Animation for short, was the animation division of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) motion picture studio in Hollywood, California, USA that specializes in animated productions for theatrical features and television. Established in 1993 as successor to the original Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio and the later MGM Animation/Visual Arts from the 1960s, the company is primarily involved in producing children's entertainment based upon properties owned by MGM, such as The Pink Panther, The Secret of NIMH, and All Dogs Go to Heaven.
In 2011, it was announced that MGM would be returning to animation to develop an adaptation of Punk Farm.[1]
