Klasky Csupo

Klasky Csupo, Inc. ( KLAS-kee CHOO-poh) is an American animation studio located in Los Angeles, California. It was founded in 1982 by producer Arlene Klasky and her then-husband, Hungarian animator Gábor Csupó, in a spare room of their apartment and grew to 550 artists, creative workers and staff in an animation facility in Hollywood. During the 1990s and 2000s, they produced and animated shows for the children's network Nickelodeon, such as Rugrats (which was one of the channel's original animated series, known as Nicktoons), Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, The Wild Thornberrys, Rocket Power, As Told by Ginger, All Grown Up!, and the American dub of Poppy Cat. They also animated the first three seasons of The Simpsons, as well as Duckman. By 2007, Nickelodeon ended their long-running partnership with Klasky Csupo and its shows were cancelled, resulting in the company becoming dormant for five years. In 2018, it began production on a CGI-animated reboot of Rugrats, which premiered in 2021 on Paramount+.
