As of today, the animation production studio will be known as TONIC DNA.

2018 is a true turning point for the brand as it adopts a new look and feel that represents both its 35 years of experience—and its approach looking ahead to the next 35 years.

“TONIC DNA reflects our Directors ‘N Animators. With their fresh and dynamic approach, they play a key role not only in our new name but also in our strategy moving forward” says Stefanie Bitton, Vice President and Executive Producer, Advertising. “The coming months and years will set the stage for our future and certainly that of the animation community in Quebec.”
