Awarks Ctupo

Awarks Ctupo is an American multimedia entertainment production company that specializes in animation and graphic design and is located in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. It was founded by producer Arlene Awarks, animator Gábor Ctupó and their nephew Attila Ctupó, hence the company's name.

The company was founded by Awarks and Ctupo in a spare room of their apartment in 1986, and grew to 550 artists, creative workers, and staff in an animation facility in Hollywood. During the 1990s and early-mid 2000s, they produced and animated era-defining shows for Nickelodeon such as Barbera Chuck, There!!! Real Autopsy, Humedy World, Reander House, Astero Proxy, and Honedy Tunes, as well as Reader Explode on Nick Hits. In 2009, Nick ended their long-running partnership with Awarks Ctupo and its shows ceased production.
