'''Renegade Animation''' is an American [[animation studio]] located in [[Glendale, California]], which currently specializes in [[Adobe Animate]] and [[Toon Boom]] animation. It was founded by [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Disney]] and [[Warner Bros. Animation|Warner Bros.]] animator and director [[Darrell Van Citters]] and his business partner [[Ashley Postlewaite]] in July 1992 in [[Burbank, California]]. The studio previously produced ''[[Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi]]'' and ''[[The Mr. Men Show]]'' for [[Cartoon Network]], and ''[[The Tom and Jerry Show (2014 TV series)|The Tom and Jerry Show]]'', ''[[Unikitty!]]'', and ''[[Tom and Jerry in New York]]'' for Warner Bros. Animation.

== History ==
Renegade Animation initially produced several commercials and animated short films, beginning with the second "Hare Jordan" spot for Nike, which featured Bugs Bunny as his own alter-ego and Michael Jordan as Air Jordan, as well as numerous spots for [[Cheetos]] and Kellogg's, among others. In the mid-1990s, they moved into internet cartoons, and produced [[Will Ryan]]'s ''[[Elmo Aardvark: Outer Space Detective]]''.

They have since branched out into [[television]], and are perhaps most well known as the producers of cartoon series ''[[Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi]]'', ''[[The Mr. Men Show]]'' and ''[[The Tom and Jerry Show (2014 TV series)|The Tom and Jerry Show]]'', a series featuring [[Tom and Jerry]]. They also co-produced the [[live-action]]/[[Traditionally-animated]] [[telefilm]] ''[[Re-Animated]]'' with Appleday Pictures. Renegade also produced the 2007 direct-to-video Christmas film ''[[Christmas Is Here Again]]'' based on a story by Robert Zappia, although it since aired in syndication and on [[Hulu]].
