3'''[=CinéGroupe=]''' is a Canadian animation studio based in Montreal, Quebec that was established in 1974 by Jacques Pettigrew. The company operates independently but have done business with Creator/LionsGate in the late-1990s.
4
5They have created numerous animated series that have aired worldwide in over 125 countries, including ''WesternAnimation/WhatsWithAndy'', ''WesternAnimation/TheKidsFromRoom402'', ''WesternAnimation/PigCity'', ''WesternAnimation/TrippingTheRift'', ''WesternAnimation/SagwaTheChineseSiameseCat'', and ''WesternAnimation/MegaBabies''. Many of their shows were originally produced for Creator/{{Teletoon}}, but they are also probably recognizable to those who grew up watching Creator/FoxFamily in the late 90s and early 2000s, thanks to their long history of cooperation with Creator/SabanEntertainment.
6
7They've also produced a number of live-action shows and movies (such as ''Series/{{Galidor}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal2000''), as well as a few video games based on popular licensed properties like ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'' and ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry''.

59!! Tropes associated with [=CinéGroupe=]:
60* OnlySoManyCanadianActors: Many of their shows feature the common names of the Montreal voice acting pool, like Creator/RickJones, Creator/SonjaBall, Creator/TerrenceScammell, Creator/HollyGauthierFrankel, Creator/MarkCamacho, and Creator/PaulineLittle. If you've paid attention to the credits in ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'', ''WesternAnimation/ToadPatrol'', the ''Anime/SamuraiPizzaCats'' dub, or any cartoons created by Creator/{{Cinar}}, Spectra Animation, Tooncan Productions, Sardine Productions, etc., then you're likely familiar with these names.
61* PrecisionFStrike: Being a Canadian studio, they've gotten away with this in their shows.
62** The first episode of ''WesternAnimation/PigCity'' has one of the characters (Martha) call another "retarded".
63** In one season 3 episode of ''WesternAnimation/WhatsWithAndy'', Andy says "pain in the ass" once.
64** In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Wunschpunsch}}'' episode "Night of the Wishes'', Maggot tells Bubonic that one of the potions he suggested is a "piece of crap".
