Artwork featuring almost all of Nickelodeon Animation Studio's shows throughout the years (with the exceptions of Nickelodeon shows like Action League Now!, Making Fiends, Middle School Moguls, The Penguins of Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, and Monsters vs. Aliens (the latter three are co-produced by DreamWorks Animation) and some Nick Jr. shows like Little Bill, Wonder Pets!, Dora and Friends: Into the City!, and Butterbean's Café.

Nickelodeon Animation Studio (also known as Nickelodeon Animation) is the main animation production arm of the American children's cable network Nickelodeon. The studio has two locations: one in Burbank, California, and another in New York City.[1] Originally founded as Games Productions[2] on February 26, 1990, it is best known for producing several animated television series for Nickelodeon and its sister channels, such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer and Avatar: The Last Airbender. From 1998 to 2009, it was known as Nickelodeon Animation Studios, before its name was revised to its current singular wording.
