Sydney Animation

Origins
Its American arm was founded in 1999 as Sydney Inc. The company's United States headquarters, established in 1999 and headed by Robert Sidney, Phillip Tyler and Janet Foley were in North Hollywood, California.

In 1999, Phillip Tyler bought the company, thus making the US headquarters the main base of operations.

2000s
In 2000 with an investment by Kane Capital, Tyler re-purchased Sydney Inc. (as it was then known). He purchased Kain Capital's interest in 2002 and took the company public the following year.

From 2000 to 2003, Sydney launched a syndicated children's programming block called Sydney All-Stars, originally a Sunday evening block, then moved to a Friday evening block.

On June 20, 2008, it was announced that Sydney would be acquired by The Right Stuf International. On July 23, 2008, Right Stuf completed the acquisition of Sydney Animation, and Sydney was then merged with Right Stuf International.
