At this point, I think the content of this article's a little one-sided (as far as the list of shows is concerned). At least it's a famous studio—fromCanada no less—so why not let it have some history tidbits like what's onWDFA,H-B,Fleischer Studios andFilmation?
Last year, I created the pages on Nelvana's founders:Hirsh,Loubert andSmith. I feel this is theonly history Wikipedia has on this studio...
So maybe I'll continue from this point soon. --Slgrandson02:10, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe because Nelvana's empire has a lot of films and shows under its belt, along with it being a famous animation studio, I feel there should be at least three templates covering the studio and its history:
I might as well give these three a try next week. --Slgrandson01:46, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As I'm improving this page (perAndyZ'scomments atWP:PR/A), I wonder how useful this link will become:
The last part of this article contains useful info about Michael Hirsh that could come in handy, as the pages on him and his company approach their next edits.
(NB:Contains some mild language at start of page.) --Slgr@ndson(page -messages -contribs)19:08, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In the second on the 1990's, a sentence reads:Purists of the original Japanese version criticised the resulting English dub, which was broadcast on Kids WB! in the U.S. market and Teletoon in Canada.
I would say this is a poor word choice, because it's implying a bias. It seems to be saying "While the changes were minimal, some whiney people complained about it." Is it even a neccesary comment for this article? Yes, there was a lot of internet furor, but as a history of the company, it's a very minor note.Meiran01:11, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In reference to the above mentioned section:
I suppose, since the sentence was deleted and this edit was made 7 years ago, that this will be a moot point. However, "is it a necessary comment for this article" ? Absolutely, although it did not go far enough. It was not a 'minor' note in the history of the company. Cardcaptors was not only criticized by "purists", it was roundly called to task by industry professionals and anime historians alike for its blatant censorship, editorial cultural imperialism, major changes and deletions of important characters and situations, clumsy translation and poor choices in voice directing.
Taking all that into account, in addition to the fact that it was the first anime property Nelvana ever licensed would raise the subject somewhat above a 'minor note'. The comment should have been EXPANDED upon rather than deleted altogether. Doing so makes it seem as if you are trying to whitewash history. With a company having the pedigree Nelvana has, I would think that this major fumbling of a property would be notable. Instead it is brushed aside, making it seem like this article is nothing more than a marketing arm for Nelvana rather than a dispassionate history of the company.StealthMomo (talk)16:06, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It meets the standard. Well written in most areas, although in some, the prose is less than brilliant - for example, the lead sentence doesn't flow too well. A lot more citations are needed (page references for most sentences will be needed, and it'll be much easier for others to verify), and try to find another book to source from. Well done on providing fair use rationale for every image.CloudNine16:33, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In the fourth paragraph of the article, where it mentions what shows Nelvana has distributed, the vast majority of information appears to be untrue. From what I know, the only correct info there is that Nelvana has distributedThe Fairly OddParents internationally, andMy Friend Rabbit is produced by Nelvana itself anyway.Fifthship (talk)07:03, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I will be doing the GA Reassessment on this article as part of the GA Sweeps project.H1nkles (talk)18:20, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have some concerns with this article as follows:
These concerns are sufficient for me to hold the article for work to be done. If no work is undertaken in the next week the article will be delisted from GA status.H1nkles (talk)18:54, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Is an entire section devoted to the minor differences in the logos notable? I'd be in favour of removing the section altogether.—Precedingunsigned comment added by66.207.206.210 (talk)19:15, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
FYI. "Hudecki was originally an animator atNelvana starting fromA Cosmic Christmas in 1977 throughRock & Rule in 1983."Ikip16:29, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to remind you all that I have removed the JumpStart Superheroes reference, so please do not mark it as vandalism. It was part of a hoax that was going on in Wikipedia as per an old deletion discussion and for some odd reason that did not get removed from the Nelvana article. I can confirm that this is a hoax especially since Knowledge Adventure is very restrictive regarding the use of their intellectual property and thus would not be possible.68.117.8.110 (talk)21:38, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If it wasn't already obvious from the studio's diminished output, Nelvana and its sister companyToonBoom have nowhere near 600-700 employees. According to arecent Corus press release, the two combined "employ more than 300 Canadians."Damnedfan1234 (talk)09:33, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is it/nɛlˈvænə/ or/nɛlˈvɑːnə/? Is the A in the second syllable pronounced as in "fat" or as in "father"? Perhaps somebody who knows can insert one of these.Kelisi (talk)04:39, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I do suspect that the Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers movie on Disney+ threw in some references to Nelvana since the movie makes so many references to animation works. You'd think since they included Ugly Sonic and some Kingdom Hearts references, they'd also include references to Nelvana as well. But so far, I haven't seen any person mentioning this. So, I wonder if someone can go hunting for Nelvana references in the Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers movie?SpyderSoup (talk)12:09, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This page gives the company's full legal name as "Nelvana Enterprises, Inc.", but I can't find any reliable sources supporting this. All I can find is references to its supposedly-former name, "Nelvana Limited". It's even called Nelvana Limited at the bottom of their website. So is "Nelvana Enterprises, Inc." the correct name, or is it "Nelvana Limited"?Mr. Starfleet Command (talk •contributions)20:28, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
