Rob Davies, a 1999 Emmy nominee for his work on STEVEN SPIELBERG PRESENTS:
PINKY, ELMYRA AND THE BRAIN, has recently returned from Warner Bros. T.V.
Animation in L.A. to his native British Columbia, Canada to start up a new
animation studio, Atomic Cartoons Inc. Joining Davies is former REN AND
STIMPY animator and Universal Cartoons director Mauro Casalese, director
Trevor Bentley (Nickelodeon's CAT DOG, Nelvana's NED'S NEWT), and director
Olaf Miller (Sony's LITTLE WITCH). "Our main focus is to assist companies
with conceptualizing and developing their shows," says Davies. "At Atomic
Cartoons we've taken a boutique approach to pre-production in that we
specialize in taking the client's idea from its 'seedling' stage and
developing it into a solid property." Atomic Cartoons Inc. is presently
under contract with Sunwoo Entertainment, designing 26 half-hour episodes
of MILO'S GREAT ADVENTURE for international distribution. Also currently
underway is pre-production work on 26 episodes of A.K.A/Cartoon Network's
EDD, ED N EDDY, and Stretch Films' COURAGE THE COWARDLY DOG also for
Cartoon Network, as well as production work on Film Roman's CAPBUSTERS.
