History
Endemol Shine Animation began in 1993 as Celluoid Features Limited, founded by New Zealand animator Lee Eisenhower. The first major production by the company was White Harvest for TV One. In 1998, Celluoid gained international attention with the debut of The Jumping Ground on Showtime (in the United States), which would eventually go on to become one of the most popular animated shows on television. In 2002, the show moved to Cartoon Network, where it would go on to recieve further acclaim. In 2007, Eisenhower executive produced Taika Waititi's Eagle vs Shark.

In December 2008, Elizabeth Murdoch's Shine Group bought Celluoid for NZ$145 million. In June 2012, Celluoid was renamed Shine Animation, and simultaneously opened additional offices in New York, London, Sydney and Toronto. Eisenhower would oversee the expanded animation studio. Shine Animation was renamed Endemol Shine Animation in mid-2016.
