Sunwoo Entertainment is South Korean animation studio. They were born in 1979 (though they existed as a company as early as 1974), first working on South Korean productions, then for {{Disney}} nearly a decade later and have since become one of the busier overseas animation studios.

Back in TheNineties, Sunwoo had a few companies spun-off from it: Anivision, Grimsaem, and Sunwoo Digital. In 2000, however, the spin-offs were all sucked back into the main studio. They also have a toy company (Named Mocom Toys; making them the only animation studio that owns a toy company) responsible for releasing Creator/{{Hasbro}}'s ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' toys (as well as stuff for ''WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine'', ''Anime/{{Hamtaro}}'', Creator/{{Disney}} and others).

In addition to Disney, Sunwoo and its spin-offs have also worked for Creator/{{Universal}}, Creator/CookieJarEntertainment, Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox, and, of course, Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}.

Compare Creator/ToonCity (another studio that got its start with Disney), TMSEntertainment, WangFilmProductions, RoughDraftStudios, the Creator/WaltDisneyAnimationUnits, and Creator/KennedyCartoons, other studios that Sunwoo and its spin-offs have worked alongside.

!!Tropes found in the works of Sunwoo and its spin offs:
* AllCGICartoon: has made and/or distributed several of these.
* AnimationBump: Grimsaem's feature film work, as well as their work on ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}''. All of Sunwoo's ''Recess'' episodes have better animation in episodes by PlusOneAnimation, and Anivision's digitally colored episodes have ''much'' better animation than the Creator/ToonCity epusodes.
* {{Animesque}}: ''Mix Master'' and ''Yobi''
* ConspicuousCG
* MediumBlending: With themselves on ''Family Guy'' and ''Metajets'' (and some other projects), RhythmAndHues on ''Rugrats in Paris'' and GONZO on ''Transformers Cybertron''.
* NoExportForYou[=/=]BadExportForYou: Pretty much how they've treated the South Korean Transformers toy line releases. [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Animated]]'s especially.
* OffModel: A common complaint with the company's Disney projects. Well, that and how [[LimitedAnimation their animation looks bland and uninteresting]] compared to some of the higher quality studios like Walt Disney Japan and Australia.
** Reportedly, Joe Murray was less than satisfied with their work on ''Rocko's Modern Life'', and due to this, switched to RoughDraftStudios for its final season.
** Their first few ''Recess'' episodes were ''extremely'' off-model, most notably in "Jinxed", "To Finster With Love", "Big Brother Chad", and "The Legend of Big Kid". However, they lessened as season one went on, and have been considered to be one of the best animation departments for the show.
