Walt Disney Studios

Walt Disney Studios
No other studio is more closely related to animation than Disney Studios, because the studio was virtually built completely on it's animated output.

MGM

MGM
One of the classic studios of old Hollywood, MGM also played a pretty big role in animation in the 1940's and 1950's. Great directors like Fred "Tex" Avery, Hanna/Barbera and even the great Chuck Jones all called this studio home at one time or another.
