'''Wang Film Productions''' (formerly known as Cuckoo's Nest Studio; Also known as [[I Have Many Names|Thai Wang and in Chinese as Hong Guang]]<ref> both are actually separately credited studios, though still one and the same; serving as Wang's Thailand and Chinese satellite studios, respectively. Both studios credits are listed here for obvious reasons.</ref>) is a Taiwanese studio founded in 1978 by former [[Hanna-Barbera]] employee James Wang as a means for the company to outsource animation to (when the technique was still relatively unheard of at the time). Since its founding, Wang has worked with and/or for several companies like [[Warner Brothers]], [[Disney]], [[Nelvana]], [[Klasky-Csupo]], [[Film Roman]], [[Universal]], [[Kennedy Cartoons]] and [[Studio Pierrot]] (among others). And thus, has done animation for shows made in the US, France, Canada, Germany, China and on occasion, Japan.
 
Their main claim to fame, though, is being used by a large number of shows. [[The Other Wiki]], in fact, has a list of their works about a mile long. The works below are just scraping the surface.
 
Wang also owns a CG company ([[Sarcasm Mode|creatively named]] [http://www.cgcg.com.tw/index.html CGCG]), founded in 1988 (Originally independent, they joined with Wang in 1998). Like Wang, the company's not only done CG work on their productions, but they've also done [[All CGI Cartoon|All CGI Cartoons]]s on their own (and likewise being used by everyone in the biz). In addition, [[Hong Ying]] is generally considered an offshoot of them, having started out getting extra Wang work.

Line 155:
* [[Off-Model]]: As explained above, the less talked about the ''Pound Puppies'' movie the better. This also occurs in many of their other projects, including a surprisingly inconsistently drawn first season of ''Tiny Toon Adventures'' (although for the other two seasons, [[It Got Better]]). This also happened in all of their ''101 Dalmatians: The Series'' episodes.

* [[Thick Line Animation]]: Went through a period of this during the ''TTA'' era (mainly season one). Their ''Ren and Stimpy'' work tended to suffer from this as well.
* [[Tron Lines]]: ''TRON'' obviously.
