Canada’s Sinking Ship Entertainment (SSE) has launched an animation series division, appointing Tanya Green as head of animated series.

The goal is to create stories that educate, entertain and excite kids around the world, the company said.

"Having established ourselves in live-action, we're excited to expand our storytelling ability into animation", said JJ Johnson, co-founding partner of SSE. "Under Tanya's experienced leadership, this new division will challenge the way animation is done in Canada – creating new looks backed by interesting stories as told by diverse, unique and underrepresented voices.”

Green (pictured) joins SSE from 9 Story's Brown Bag Films, where as VP of production, she oversaw, managed and produced hundreds of hours of animated television.

"I am so excited to be part of the talented team at Sinking Ship Entertainment, and to grow with them by leading this trailblazing animation series strategy,” she said. "Sinking Ship's commitment to taking risks and proven success with leading-quality kids programming is a testament to the values we share as creators; a shared penchant for impacting the lives of kids from the stories we tell and the ways we tell them."
