BIOGRAPHY
Kidtoon Originals is a subdivision of Kidtoon Films. A distribution company who specialises in licensing other properties animated films and placing them under a program, sometimes to be released in small theatres. Kidtoon Originals was founded a year after Kidtoon Films was founded in 2005. The purpose of this subdivision was to create new and original children's films for kids to enjoy. However the difference was that none of them were released in theatres, instead being released Directly to DVD to avoid budget problems.

Kidtoon Originals had a DVD format that was prominent throughout the entire selection of DVD's they used. Each original film they made would be placed on DVD, and each DVD not only included the movie, but also a couple of special features on an interactive select page made for each specially made movie. This included a concept art menu where viewers could look at test animations, storyboards, concept art and model sheets for the movie, a specially made music video and one interactive DVD game or activity. Inside the DVD's would also include a little gift for the viewer based off of that movie and a code to get the link to the Kidtoon Originals website, which was published after their first film. The website featured videos from music videos, trailers and clips from their movies, a wide variety of flash games and a bundle of activities. There also was a link on the website to the original Kidtoon films site.

Kidtoon Originals would go on to direct and produce 14 different DVD animated films before shutting down all of their production and closing down in 2012. Just a few months shy before Kidtoon Films ended their original program run and beginning a 4 year hiatus.

3 years later in 2015, the Kidtoon Originals website would also shut down and go up for sale.
