1'''Toon-Us-In''' was an American animation studio located in L.A.'s Chinatown. It was formed by some employees who previously worked on ''[[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren and Stimpy]]'', such as Andy Kim. Sometime during the '90s, they opened a UsefulNotes/{{South Korea}}n branch, as ''The True Meaning of Crumbfest'' lists "UsefulNotes/{{Seoul}}, South Korea" as its location, and Terry Pike mentioned on his [=LinkedIn=] that he supervised animation on ''WesternAnimation/FreakyStories'' in Seoul.

3It is highly likely that '''[=MyPlan=] Animation''' is an off-shoot of Toon-Us-In, as it featured Andy Kim as a staff member and, considering both Toon-Us-In and [=MyPlan=] worked on ''WesternAnimation/WatershipDown'' and various ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' specials, it's not a stretch to assume the two studios are related. As such, both studios' work are listed in this article.
