Animated shows canceled due to the animation studios' closures

[Vuxovich]

Usually, an animated television show is canceled because of low ratings, poor toy sales, creator moving on other projects et cetera. But there's a pretty weird example when an animated show is canceled due to the animation studio's bankruptcy. One example comes into mind:

Skysurfer Strike Force – Apparently, Bohbot Entertainment canceled the show after two seasons because the Ruby-Spears animation studio closed down.

Was this the only instance when an animated television show was canceled due to the closure of an animation studio? Do Xiaolin Chronicles count? From what I have heard, the animation studio behind the show ceased to exist in the late 2013. Can you name some animated television shows that were canceled because their animation studios shut down?

Hinton Animation closed down when The Raccoons ended.

WordGirl was almost certainly a casualty of Soup2Nuts closing. It aired its last season the same year Soup2Nuts shut down.

The poor reception of Da Boom Crew caused Jambalaya Studio to fold, though the last project from them was The Proud Family Movie and while The Proud Family will return on Disney+ as Louder and Prouder, it will be produced by Disney Television Animation instead.

Didn't the studio that made Jimmy Neutron close down, before the show could make a final season?

A short lived cartoon who aired on Teletoon Canada in 2010 "My Life Me" didn't get more season when one of the studios who co-produced the series closed.

I think it closed after the Ant Bully Bombed at the Box Office

Such a shame since Jimmy Neutron was such a great show.

I think a lawsuit with Jimmy Neutron producer Steve Oedekerk also killed DNA.

Appleseed Genesis was never completed because its animation studio, Radix, shut down in 2006.

I Think Pip Ahoy! Was canceled because CHF Entertainment shut down, but I did email the creator Charles Ward, and he has Confirmed that Future Episodes are in the works

I think The Secret Saturdays is the last show produced by Porchlight Entertainment before shutting down in 2009.

Cartoon Pizza shutdown and years later defunct in 2015 after Sesame Workshop's Pinky Dinky Doo (the final show produced by the company) ended.

Omation went dormant in years as due to the failure of Planet Sheen.

Was Filmation working on anything when they got closed down?

They were working on a Bravestarr spinoff called “Bravo”, which would have focused on Deputy Fuzz’s people, whose name I can’t remember at the moment. Bravo is the name of the main character. There are also reports that they were planning a show called “He-Ro: Son of He-Man”. I think it was Filmation, anyway.

It should be mentioned, by the way, that Happily Ever After came out a few years or so after Filmation went out of business.

Astroblast! was the last show Soup2Nuts produced before they went out of business.

I think I read somehere Lou Scheimer was developing that in the mid-'90s with DIC. Least, that's what I read on a He-Man website once.

More than that. They had a show in mid-production called Bugzberg that would have used the bug characters from their Pinocchio movie. All 65 scripts were written and all the voices were recorded, and the series was cleared for syndication in most markets for the fall of 1989. Then Filmation bit it. It's unknown if any completed episodes exist, or any pieces of them do.

Was going to mention Bugzburg; Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night had already come out and bombed by that point, but I guess they were determined (same deal with Happily Ever After I suppose).

Steve Hullet wrote a three part lookback on the experience, and the end of Filmation as a whole. Doesn't sound like the quality control was necessarily going to be great, but sounds like it might have been a little different from what they'd be doing for most of the 80s maybe. They got a pretty solid voice cast (Frank Welker, Linda Gary, Peter Cullen, Jonathan Harris, Pat Fraley) at least.
