AKOM Production, Ltd. (Animation Korea Movie; Korean: 애이콤 프로덕션) is a South Korean animation studio in Songpa-gu, Seoul that has provided much work since its conception in 1985 by Nelson Shin. Its biggest claim to fame is the overseas animation of more than 200 episodes of The Simpsons, a total which continues to increase.[1] In 2007, the studio produced a portion of the overseas animation for The Simpsons Movie.
Other well-known series that AKOM has been involved in including X-Men, The Tick, Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Batman: The Animated Series, The Transformers, the first 11 seasons of PBS's Arthur, and five of The Land Before Time films.
