Cartoon Pizza is an animation company located in New York City. It was co-founded by Jim Jinkins and David Campbell as the successor to Jinkins' former company, Jumbo Pictures, Inc. Cartoon Pizza's logo is a picture of a pizza with a face in front of a globe and under the logo is the company's slogan: "Worldwide Delivery."
A hallmark of both companies has been their commitment to the continued use of hand-painted "cel" animation at a time when animated series are increasingly produced using "digital" ink and paint.

[edit] Jumbo Pictures
Jumbo Pictures was founded by Jim Jinkins in 1988 to produce the episodes of Doug; the very first Nicktoon. The Jumbo Pictures logo was a giant egg with "Jumbo Pictures" on it and just like the Cartoon Pizza logo, the slogan was underneath the logo (the Jumbo Pictures slogan was "Grade A Quality"). The original logo had a dark blue background and the word "Pictures" was contained within a black rectangle. In 1992, the background changed colour to cream and the black rectangle was permanently removed. In 2000, the egg became smaller and was made 3D while the background was switched to light blue.
In 1996, Jinkins sold the company, and the rights to Doug with it, to The Walt Disney Company. The company continued operations until the cancellation of the Playhouse Disney cartoon series PB&J Otter in 2000. In 2001, Jinkins formed a new production company, Cartoon Pizza.
