Klasky-Csupo, Inc. (stylized as KLaSKY CSUPO INC., doing business as Klasky-Csupo, pronounced "class-key chew-poe" /klæski ˈtʃuːpoʊ/ KLAS-kee CHOO-poh) is an American multimedia, entertainment, and production company that specializes in animation and graphic design and is located in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.[1] It was founded by producer Arlene Klasky and Hungarian animator Gábor Csupó,[2] hence the company's name.
The company was founded by Arlene Klasky and Gábor Csupó in a spare room of their apartment in 1982, and grew to 550 artists, creative workers, and staff in an animation facility in Hollywood. During the 1990s and early-mid 2000s, they produced and animated era-defining shows for Nickelodeon such as Rugrats, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, The Wild Thornberrys, Rocket Power, As Told by Ginger, and All Grown Up!, as well as Duckman on USA Network. In 2008, Nickelodeon ended their long-running partnership with Klasky Csupo and its shows ceased production. However, they are currently working on a revival/reboot of Rugrats for Paramount+, the streaming service for Nickelodeon parent ViacomCBS.
