Following 24 years at Atomic Cartoons, co-founder and veteran animation executive Trevor Bentley has announced the opening of Toon City Vancouver, a new production studio in Canada’s thriving animation hub. A partnership with Manila’s powerhouse animation studio Toon City, Toon City Vancouver will specialize in providing both traditional and digital animation services, while actively seeking co-production opportunities.
The principals have a long history working together on hit Disney XD series Counterfeit Cat, Wildseed series Incredible Ant and award-winning PBS series Molly of Denali.
Over the years I’ve had nothing but admiration for the talented team at Toon City. The opportunity to build a pipeline that encompasses the deep talent pools in Vancouver and Manila and the immediate benefits for our clients made the decision automatic.
-Trevor Bentley
I have seen how Trevor developed and nurtured his former studio, Atomic Cartoons. We have worked with him as service providers, and I only have admiration for his professionalism. Trevor is highly regarded in global animation, and I cannot be prouder in having him as our partner. This is a dream come-true as it opens huge possibilities for Toon City.
-Miguel del Rosario, CEO of Toon City, Philippines
Bentley will be attending Cartoon Forum in September and looks forward to connecting with producers and creatives looking for a Canadian production partner.
