DNA Productions, Inc. was an animation studio located in Dallas County, Texas known for creating award winning Computer 2D and 3D animated projects. In addition to animation, DNA was a creative resource. They offered directing, script writing, and production to multiple animated programs and features.
DNA's projects include the Oscar nominated, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius feature film for Paramount and Nickelodeon and The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius television series, which currently is syndicated on Nicktoons.
DNA also animated the Emmy nominated holiday special, Olive, the Other Reindeer for the The Curiosity Company and Fox. DNA wrote, directed and produced the 3D Christmas special, Santa vs. the Snowman for O Entertainment, which runs in IMAX theaters during the holiday season. DNA developed an animated feature film adaptation of The Ant Bully with Playtone and Warner Bros..
DNA Productions closed its doors in 2006 as a result of a lawsuit filed against the company by Steve Oedekerk, founder of O Entertainment (with whom DNA Productions co-produced The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius); shortly after the release of The Ant Bully in the summer of that year. Davis made a payment to Steve Oedekerk after Oedekerk had ceased seeking legal action against him.
