About Warner Bros. Animation
Warner Bros. Animation is a television and episodic animation production studio within Warner Bros. Television Group.

Its work spans hand-drawn and digital 2D animation, CG animation, adult animation, action and anime-influenced series, and feature-length animated productions. The studio’s creative services include storyboarding, character and background design, visual development, animatics, scriptwriting, voice casting and recording, production management, sound and music supervision, and post-production editorial.
