Background
Milky Cartoon is a Japanese animation studio founded in 1998, and began producing and animating a series of shorts based on Naomi Iwata's Pecola characters for Fuji Television as part of Ponkickies that same year. This led to Pecola becoming a wider household name across Japan (as the characters originated in PC games). Alongside that, the company also worked with Iwata on producing/animating Gregory Horror Show and Midnight Horror School respectively. The success of the Pecola shorts caught the attention of Nelvana, who wanted to adapt the franchise as a television show. The Pecola series which was produced by Nelvana, Milky Cartoon and Yomiko Advertising, debuted on Teletoon in Canada in 2001 and ended the following year with a total of 26 episodes across two seasons. After that, the studio moved on to other projects until 2020, when it was restructured into MC Holdings.
