==Trivia==
*Nelvana had a planet named after it in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' series, for which it did all of the animation projects through [[2003]]. In the [[Expanded Universe (Star Wars)|Expanded Universe]] cartoon series ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars]]'', [[Anakin Skywalker]] goes to planet "Nelvana" in Chapters 23-25. This is most likely to pay homage to their ''Star Wars'' animation predecessors.
*The company also had a planet named after it in the [[Star Trek]] universe. On the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' episode [[The Defector (TNG episode)|The Defector]], a planet named Nelvana III is mentioned.
