Creator / Toonz Animation

Toonz Animation was an New Zealand animation studio founded in 1993. It contained many of the same staff members (such as Stan Fong) as Freelance Animators New Zealand, plus some new ones. The animation director was often Disney Australia's Lily Dell. When the company closed, many of the same staff later moved to Slightly Off Beat Productions. They were often listed with Gnome Productions, also based out of New Zealand.

Not to be confused with the unrelated Toonz Animation India.
