Kartoon Studios, a publicly owned company headquartered in the United States with its primary base in Beverly Hills, California, and additional offices in New Jersey, Toronto, Vancouver, and London, has approximately 50 employees and reported $39.4M in revenue as of 2025. The company specializes in entertainment content rights, functioning as a global media company that develops, produces, markets, and licenses branded animated entertainment properties and consumer products for media and retail distribution. It owns or controls a catalogue of more than 3,800 episodes of animated programming and has over 20,000 animated episodes under license to Toon Media Networks, distributing its content worldwide in all formats. The company was previously known as Genius Brands International, trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol GNUS until June 2023. In June 2023, it rebranded as Kartoon Studios and transferred its listing to NYSE American, where it now trades under the ticker symbol TOON.
Kartoon Studios reported its second-quarter 2026 financial results on August 20, disclosing a strengthened balance sheet with $40 million in cash and no long-term debt, alongside an agreement with Amazon Prime. The company emphasized its focus on intellectual property (IP) ownership for its next growth phase. This financial update followed its August 19 appointment of Brooke Bacon, a veteran Activision Blizzard executive, as Senior Vice President of Consumer Products and Licensing. Bacon will lead the global licensing, retail, and consumer products strategy across Kartoon Studios' owned and controlled IP portfolio, advancing the company's shift toward IP ownership and franchise monetization. Earlier, on August 18, Kartoon Studios outlined this strategic transformation at the Lytham Partners 2026 Consumer & Technology Investor Summit, detailing its move away from production work for other brands to concentrating on owning and commercializing its own children’s properties.
