Jam Filled Toronto (Canada)

Background: Jam Filled Toronto is a Canadian CGI animation and special effects studio based in Toronto, Ontario, with a long and very troubled history. It was founded in 1985 as Dan Krech Productions and later known as DKP Studios. It was acquired by IDT Entertainment in 2004 and renamed to IDT Entertainment Animation Canada. In May 2006, Liberty Media purchased IDT, renaming the animation studio to Starz Animation Toronto. In April 2009, Starz Animation was spun off and renamed to Arc Productions. In 2016, Arc went bankrupt and locked out its employees due to a financial emergency, and was eventually bought by Jam Filled Entertainment, who renamed the studio to it's current name, Jam Filled Toronto.
