History and studio expansion The studio launched its initial operations creating short films and television programs before transitioning into full-length commercial cinema. In 2013, the company achieved a milestone by producing The Legend of Sarila, which was marketed as Canada's first 3D stereoscopic animated feature film.
In 2018, the production house strategically restructured by establishing its own internal, dedicated boutique branch named 10th Ave Animation. This infrastructure expansion allowed the company to keep its technical pipeline and creative asset development entirely in-house, shifting away from a reliance on external technical subcontractors . In recognition of her contributions to children's cinema, founder Nancy Florence Savard was awarded the inaugural Prix Rock-Demers by the Festival International du "Film pour Enfants de Montréal" (FIFEM) in 2022.
