About Taffy Entertainment/Mike Young Productions

MIKE YOUNG PRODUCTIONS:

WHERE WORK MEETS PLAY

When it comes to Mike Young Productions, (MYP), it’s hard to tell who is having the most fun: the studio’s millions of young fans around the world or the studio’s allegedly grown-up creators and producers which now number over 75.


After all, the talented professionals who make up Mike Young Productions share many qualities with their young viewers, including unbridled energy, intelligence, a keen eye for original material and a quirky sense of humor. And like the kids, college students and adults who love MYP’s shows, everyone at the studio enjoys a passion for all things animated, whether it’s the traditional 2D or the cutting-edge, 3D, CGI animation.

The prevailing mood at the studio is one of freewheeling creativity—this is the rare production company where anyone from the resident intern to the head of distribution can suggest an idea and get a thoughtful hearing, or where the presence of the owners’ toddler grandkids brings all work to a (temporary) halt.

But animation is also serious business at the studio. Mike Young Productions…

represents the convergence of three of the industry’s most sought-after producers. Together, the three principals inspire and lead a staff of more than 100 seasoned and cutting-edge animators, artists, writers, producers and sales, marketing and administrative executives on a plethora of new and continuing projects.
