Animation Collective was an American animated cartoon studio formed in 2003. The studio was based in New York City and was founded by Larry Schwarz. It is best known for its internet and television series using Adobe Flash, Maya and other software.
In October 2009, the studio was bought out by HandMade Films, the company that produced Monty Python's Life of Brian and Planet 51 - it continued to produce content under their company. They were offering bids for the proposed series Jolly Rabbit and HTDT.
In 2012, Schwarz and others in the administrative office changed the studio's name to Larry Schwarz And His Band, as a way to start fresh. This effectively ended Animation Collective's run by name, although all the same employees still work in the same office. The rights for the pitches and pilots for Jolly Rabbit and HTDT were transferred under the new title, as well as new shows Team Toon and Alien Dawn. Handmade Films currently owns the rights to Animation Collective's library.

Famous quotes containing the word collective:
“The popularity of disaster movies ... expresses a collective perception of a world threatened by irresistible and unforeseen forces which nevertheless are thwarted at the last moment. Their thinly veiled symbolic meaning might be translated thus: We are innocent of wrongdoing. We are attacked by unforeseeable forces come to harm us. We are, thus, innocent even of negligence. Though those forces are insuperable, chance will come to our aid and we shall emerge victorious.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
