Nelvana has since co-produced on Ellipse's series from 1991 to 1996. Such examples during the era from the company would be Babar, The Adventures of Tintin and Blazing Dragons.
On the occasion of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June 2022, the Média-Participations group announces the creation of an umbrella brand Ellipse Animation which brings together its production labels in France Ellipsanime Productions, Dargaud Media and Dupuis Edition & Audiovisual.[2]
