WildBrain Studios is the in-house television studio arm of Canadian entertainment company WildBrain based in Vancouver, British Columbia, which was established in 2016 as DHX Studios.

History

{{Wildbrain evolution}}

In January 2016, DHX Media announced that they would be building a 60,000 square-foot studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, that would focus on both animated and live-action productions.{{cite web|url=https://www.awn.com/news/dhx-media-announces-dhx-studios|title=DHX Media Announces DHX Studios|website=Animation World News|access-date=22 October 2018}}{{cite web|url=http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2016/02/dhx-studios-vancouver/|title=DHX Studios to open new state-of-the-art animation facility in Vancouver|first=Kenneth|last=Chan|date=February 3, 2016|access-date=October 15, 2017|work=VanCity Buzz}} The production teams of the former Studio B Productions, which DHX Media acquired in 2007 and Nerd Corps Entertainment, which DHX acquired in 2014 were relocated to the new building later in the year.

The studio consists of two production teams: the former Nerd Corps team, which focuses on the production of CGI animated shows, and the former Studio B team, which focuses on the production of 2D animated shows (including those animated with Adobe Animate).

As of 2019, the Vancouver studio is the only one remaining in the division, as the other studios were either sold off or closed.

Island of Misfits was originally known as the Halifax Film Company and was established by former Salter Street Films executives Michael Donovan and Charles Bishop in May 2004.{{cite news | url=http://playbackonline.ca/2004/09/13/halifax-20040913/ | title=Salter team reborn at Halifax Film Company | work=PlayBack | date=September 13, 2004 | access-date=December 29, 2012 | author=Bracken, Laura}} Under the name, Halifax Film produced live-action television shows, children's stop-motion series, CGI productions and dramas. It was headed by Nova Scotia Business Inc., which expanded and helped to open up their own new markets, and bought out This Hour Has 22 Minutes from Alliance Atlantis in 2005.{{Cite web|publisher=Communications Nova Scotia|date=2018-05-11|title=Halifax Film Company Set For Action|url=https://novascotia.ca/news/release/?id=20050902006|access-date=2021-12-09|website=News Releases|language=en}}

On May 16, 2006, Halifax Film and Decode Entertainment announced that they would merge and thus form the holding company DHX Media.{{cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/donovans-new-production-firm-to-target-the-wee-market/article18163349/|title=Donovan's new production firm to target the wee market |access-date=22 October 2018|newspaper=The Globe and Mail|date=17 May 2006|last1=Won|first1=Shirley}} Halifax Film became a subsidiary of DHX Media in the process. It was decided that unlike its predecessor, its main goal was to be on family entertainment.{{Cite news|last=Won|first=Shirley|date=2007-04-17|title=Salter Street sequel DHX sees future in kids' shows|language=en-CA|work=The Globe and Mail|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/salter-street-sequel-dhx-sees-future-in-kids-shows/article1354267/|access-date=2021-12-09}} In 2010 all DHX Media subsidiaries including Halifax Film were all merged to form one brand under the DHX Media name.

In 2014, the studio relocated from a location at Purdy's Wharf to the Park Lane Mall.{{cite web|url=https://www.news957.com/entertainment/2014/06/25/new-dhx-media-studio-opens-up-in-downtown-halifax/|title=New DHX Media studio opens up in downtown Halifax - NEWS 95.7|date=25 June 2014|website=News957.com|access-date=22 October 2018}} As of 2019, with the exception of This Hour Has 22 Minutes, DHX Studios Halifax solely produces CGI-animated material.

== IoM Media Ventures ==

In November 2018, as part of a series of restructurations within the company, DHX sold its Halifax animation studio to IoM Media Ventures, a company led by former DHX CEO Dana Landry.{{Cite web|url=http://kidscreen.com/2018/11/08/dhx-to-sell-halifax-animation-studio/|title=DHX selling Halifax animation studio|work=Kidscreen|access-date=2018-12-16}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.thechronicleherald.ca/business/former-dhx-boss-acquires-halifax-animation-studio-257863/|title=Former DHX boss acquires Halifax animation studio|website=The Chronicle Herald|language=en|access-date=2018-12-16}} Despite the sale, the studio continues to provide animation for WildBrain-owned shows.

DHX Media Toronto was founded on February 27, 1997, and originally known as Decode Entertainment, Inc. by Steven DeNure, Neil Court, and John Delmage, and it was based in Toronto, Ontario. The company produced numerous television shows and was an international supplier of television and interactive programming for children and youth. Decode Entertainment focused on traditional animation, computer-generated animation, and live-action shows. The name "Decode" is an acronym of the combination of the names DeNure, Court, and Delmage.

On May 16, 2006, Decode Entertainment and Halifax Film announced that they would merge and thus form the holding company DHX Media. Decode Entertainment became a subsidiary of DHX Media in the process, distributing Halifax Film shows and other DHX properties. In 2010 all DHX Media subsidiaries including Decode Entertainment were rebranded under the DHX Media name.

By 2011, DHX Media ceased production on producing content at the ex-Decode offices. The company known as Epitome Pictures, which DHX acquired in 2014, assumed the name of DHX Studios Toronto in 2016, but it has no relation outside the name.
