One of the co-founders of Nelvana, Michael Hirsch, has been hitting the convention circuit since last year, posting clips from shows Nelvana created on Instagram, and above all promoting his autobiography on Nelvana’s history. I guess I should get around to reading it now…

The cover of Michael Hirsch’s book “Animation Nation: How We Built a Cartoon Empire”, depicting an illustration of Hirsch surrounded by TVs, cell phones, and laptops playing Nelvana shows including Rolie Polie Olive, Franklin, The Magic School Bus, The Adventures of Tintin, and Johnny Test.

Castlevania wasn't Nelvana though?

I’ll have to see how he discusses it in the book, but Hirsch produced both Castlevania and Bee and Puppycat at WOW! Unlimited Media.
