ToonBox Entertainment was a Canadian animation studio, founded in June 2008, and is best known for its 2014 animated feature and its first film, The Nut Job.
The company officially ceased operations in late 2019 following financial difficulties and bankruptcy proceedings that resulted in the cancellation of future projects. The studio’s remaining workforce subsequently moved to other productions, with many employees contributing to the 2019 film Arctic Dogs and other Canadian animation companies.[2]
