Atkinson Film-Arts was a Canadian animation studio based in Ottawa in the 1970s.

They produced the first ''ComicStrip/ForBetterOrForWorse'' animated special, the first two ''Franchise/CareBears'' animated specials (predating [[WesternAnimation/CareBears1980s the animated series]] and ''WesternAnimation/TheCareBearsMovie''), ''WesternAnimation/TheRaccoons'' specials and the first season of the series, ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTeddyRuxpin'' (in association with Creator/DiCEntertainment), the 1986 ''Literature/{{Babar}} and Father Christmas'' special (predating the iconic Creator/{{Nelvana}} animated series; Nelvana themselves have since assumed distribution rights to the special) and even the music video of "The Body Electric" for Music/{{Rush|Band}}.

The company went bankrupt in 1989.
