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.
