Klasky Csupo, Inc. (/ˈklæski ˈtʃuːpoʊ/ KLASS-kee CHOO-poh) is a multimedia entertainment production company which specializes in animation and graphic design and located in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. It was founded by producer Arlene Klasky, animator Gábor Csupó and their nephew Attila Csupó, hence the company's name.
In 2004, many of its shows were cancelled, including All Grown Up!, which was put on a hiatus in 2006 but cancelled in 2008, and the company went dormant that same year but was reinstated in 2012.
Klasky-Csupo was started in 1982 in the spare bedroom of a Hollywood apartment where Klasky and Csupo were living while married.
Klasky Csupo was initially distinguished by its work on logo designs, feature film trailers, TV show titles, promos and spot ID's for a wide variety of clients, in the process earning a reputation as the industry's most imaginative and innovative studio. Building on its success, the studio opened its first facility in Hollywood in 1988 at the corner of Fountain and Highland Avenues. The studio soon grew to include six buildings that have become well known in Hollywood — in true Klasky Csupo style, the exterior walls of the buildings are decorated with large murals of its characters.
