Icebox.com

icebox.com is an internet animation company founded in the late 1990s by Jonathan Collier, Howard Gordon, Rob LaZebnik, Scott Rupp and Tal Vigderson. The founders stated that the company was created to capitalize on the inherent "freedom of the medium" which they felt stifled creativity of writers due to the confining restrictions of the studio system and traditional media.

The most noteworthy online animation creations of the company are the controversial animated cartoon Mr. Wong and Queer Duck. Many of the founders such as Rob LaZebnik and Jonathan Collier have written and continue to contribute to write for shows as "The Simpsons" in traditional media.

The company has paired with Mondo Media in a number of shows.

Animated features:

*Queer Duck
*Mr. Wong
*Meet the Millers
*Hard Drinkin' Lincoln
*Jesus and his Brothers
*Garbage Island
*Starship Regulars
*Navy Bear
*Zombie College
