PorchLight Entertainment

PorchLight Entertainment, Inc. is an American production company founded in 1995 by Bruce D. Johnson and William T. Baumann. It is focused on development & production of television series in both live action and animation. It specializes in producing innovative, high quality animation for television, film and home video. From the high quality animation of Emmy Award winning "Tutenstein," to the classic storytelling of "Adventures from the Book of Virtues," and the high-tech whimsy of "Jay Jay the Jet Plane," PorchLight has produced programming that informs as well as entertains.
in 2020, DHX revived both this company and bought Frederator Pictures, Porchlight's sister company.
