HalifaxFilm

HalifaxFilm Company (sometimes known as just HalifaxFilm and later known as DHX Media Halifax and Island of Misfits) was a Canadian animation studio and production company founded by Michael Donovan and Charles Bishop in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 2004. The studio was acquired by DHX Media on May 16, 2006, and became a subsidiary there since then. The HalifaxFilm brand is permanently discontinued, and from 2011 to 2019, all shows were branded using the DHX Media name. Since 2019, all shows are now branded under the WildBrain name.
==History==
Halifax Film Company was established by former Salter Street Films executives Michael Donovan and Charles Bishop in May 2004. Under the name, Halifax Film produced live-action television shows, children's stop-motion series, CGI productions and dramas. It was headed by Nova Scotia Business Inc., which expanded and helped to open up their own new markets, and bought out This Hour Has 22 Minutes from Alliance Atlantis in 2005.
On May 16, 2006, HalifaxFilm and DECODE Entertainment Inc. announced that they would merge to form the holding company DHX Media. HalifaxFilm became a subsidiary of DHX Media in the process. It was decided that unlike its predecessor, its main goal was to be on family entertainment. In 2010 all DHX Media subsidiaries including HalifaxFilm were all merged to form one brand under the DHX Media name.
In 2014, the studio relocated from a location at Purdy's Wharf to the Park Lane Mall. As of 2019, with the exception of This Hour Has 22 Minutes, DHX Studios Halifax solely produces CGI-animated material.
