Aniventure

Background

Aniventure (formerly known as Mass Animation and Comic Animations) is a British (formerly American) content creation and intellectual property company based in London and was set up in 2008 as Mass Animation, who best known for producing the short film Live Music before Planet 51 and the TV series Mother Up!. In 2013, another company was founded called Comic Animations (now Aniventure), which has no relation to this company. During that time, Mass Animation would later became dormant and shutting down the company later in the mid-late 2010s. In 2019, Comic Animations was renamed to Aniventure. Later that year in November, the delayed film production of Blazing Samurai (now titled as Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank) was re-announced after Aniventure (replacing Mass Animation) and Cinesite (replacing Arc Productions who shut down earlier in 2016) joined the production during their animation duties. The budget was $45 million ($16 million was categorized as "original equity" while the rest of the $29 million came from Aniventure and Canadian tax credits). In August 2020, Adrian Politowski's Align announced it would help executive produce and finance the film. In February 2021, a first-look revealed Landau and Purcell had been replaced by Adam Nagle and Guy Collins as producers. Chris Bailey also left the project as director at this point, to be the showrunner on Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, and Rob Minkoff was promoted to director alongside Mark Koetsier. Despite this, Bailey still contractually receives credit for directing the film, as do Yair Landau and Susan Purcell for producing.

Note: This page will include Mass Animation, because it is the successor to this company.
