The #NelvanaStudio, the 50-year-old #CanadianAnimation studio was named after #Nelvana_ofTheNorthernLights. #MarvelComics character, #Snowbird was inspired by the character - in the Marvel comic, her mother was named Nelvanna. Unfortunately, after 50 years, #Nelvana has closed down. A sad day for animation and the Canadian #Animation Industry. #canada #CanadianComics #Comicbooks

Hmm, people of #Canada. Would you venture to call your animation .. Canime. Or maybe Canadimation? Is there an existing term?
