Production notes

Produced with finance from the Canadian Television Fund, Shaw Rocket Fund, the Canadian Film and Video Production Tax Credit and Ontario Film and Television Tax Credit.

Unlike most animated shows, this series is entirely produced in Canada, with production centers in Toronto and Ottawa.

The show is animated entirely on computer, using a secret blend of Flash, Toonz, Photoshop, Shintalay and Final Cut Pro software.

How many drawings in a typical episode of Carl Squared? None! Carl² is a 2D digitally animated show that relies for the most part on "symbol manipulation."

It takes about 25 animators, working in two shifts, five weeks to animate each episode.
