Bardel Entertainment

Bardel Entertainment, Inc. (formerly Bardel Animation) is a Canadian animation studio founded in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1987. The studio's name comes from its founders, Barry Ward and his wife Delna Bhesania.[1]
Bardel is involved in the acquisition, development, production and distribution of animated programming.[2] The studio is best known for animating Rick and Morty, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and The Dragon Prince. On October 5, 2015, Bardel was purchased by Rainbow S.p.A.,[3] an Italian studio owned by Iginio Straffi and formerly co-owned by Paramount Global until January 2023. [4]
In September 2021, Bardel appointed Tina Chow as CEO and Richard Grieve as COO.
