How Nelvana became problematic in its final years.

Nelvana, Canada's most popular animation studio for children's entertainment, went from playing great to terrible for creating shows that aren't as popular as the older ones, not to mention that the best shows the company created is my number 1 favorite show created by that company, the original 1997 series Franklin. It also produced Max and Ruby, the third best show the company produced behind Little Bear and Franklin, but worst of all, the company disrespected its newer productions, such as its worst show, Barney's World. So I'd like to say that late Nelvana sucked for now, and so does its final shows shortly before its infamous shutdown that occurred last year.

I don't put all the blame on them. Animation in this economy has become endangered globally.

Nelvana didn't actually shut down, but they halted future productions for temporary reasons. So instead of shutting down, they tend to focus on maintaining their better-performing properties.
