DNA Productions, Inc. was an American animation studio located in Dallas, Texas, which worked on both 2D and 3D animated projects.[1] It also provided directing, script writing, and production to its clients.[2]
DNA Productions was formed in Dallas by John A. Davis and Keith Alcorn in 1987, after they left their positions at K & H Productions, a locally based animation company. Up until 1997, DNA Productions had only six employees and was involved in the production of commercials. The company also did work for other companies.[3] Until 2002, the studio's mascot was formerly a purple cat with two tails in a DNA spiral formation named Helix the Cat. From 2002-06, Helix the Cat was replaced by a computer-animated, three-eyed chimpanzee named Paul, named after one of their employees Paul Claerhout.
As of 1999, the company teamed up with The Curiosity Company and 20th Century Fox Animation to make a holiday special for television entitled Olive, the Other Reindeer, which was nominated in the Emmy awards and also joined production with Steve Oedekerk's O Entertainment on the CG Christmas special, Santa vs. the Snowman 3D.
Starting from 1998, the company pitched an idea of Jimmy Neutron to Nickelodeon in the form of a pilot episode called "Runaway Rocketboy", which led to the development and production of the feature film, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, which was later nominated for the Academy awards, and the television series The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius that was held in original airings from 2002 to 2006.[4][5] In 2006, DNA Productions completed The Ant Bully, a feature film loosely based on the children's book of the same name, while production on The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius was ending. The studio's facility closed later in 2006. By that time, many of its employees went to work for Reel FX Creative Studios, while others went to O Entertainment and founded its animation division, Omation Animation Studios.
