Cartoon Pizza is an animation company located in Nashville. It was co-founded by Jim Jinkins and David Campbell as the successor to Jinkins's former company, Jumbo Pictures, Inc. A hallmark of both Jumbo Pictures and Cartoon Pizza has been their commitment to the continued use of hand-painted cel animation at a time when animated series are increasingly produced using digital ink and paint. The studio had partnered with several studios to help produce their shows, including; Disney, Sesame Workshop, and Cuppa Coffee Studios. The studio was formerly headquartered in New York City until 2009, when the company relocated to Nashville, Tennessee.[1][2]
