Cinar: The Power Couple of Kids' TV

Cinar: The Power Couple of Kids' TV is a 2025 Canadian documentary film produced by Momentum Pictures, a division of Hasbro's Entertainment One. The film examines what is perhaps the biggest business scandal in Canadian history. Claude Robinson, a victim of the scandal, is credited as a writer of the film, which is directed by veteran CTV legal reporter Stephane Giroux.
The film examines the 2000 collapse of the Cinar Corporation, which over a decade later resulted in criminal charges for executives at the company, and at two hedge funds named Norshield and Mount Real as a result of the ensuing Cinar scandal; it also particularly focuses on the involvement of Norshield founder John Xanthoudakis. The film features interviews with victims of the scandal, as well as voice actors, animators, and staff, and Nelvana co-founder Michael Hirsh - who acquired the company in 2004 and changed its name to Cookie Jar Group as a result of the Cinar brand's battered reputation.
