Elliott Animation is a Canadian animation studio. It was established by George Elliott in 1997 as Pictor Entertainment, a small independent studio in Toronto with a staff of 15. The company would expand past its core creative staff to as many as 100 full time and freelance animation artists. Pictor was rebranded to its current name in 2000 to specialize in traditional animation, Adobe Flash and 3D animation. The company also partnered with The Krislin Company to form Krislin Elliott Digital to utilize 3D animation. However, the division closed a few years later.
The studio is the sister company of Fresh TV (with Fresh TV founders Jennifer Pertsch and Tom McGillis being among the studio's leaders) and has done the animation for all their animated series. They are also known for animating Yin Yang Yo!, as well as some of the later works of Butch Hartman.
