History
Frenzy Animation started its roots in 2003 by Steve O'Connell. Connell however signed a four-picture deal with IDT Entertainment to co-produce the films and lend the animating services to them. The studio's first film, The Princess and the Pied Piper was released by Universal Pictures in 2006.

In 2007, Richard Gordon (Paramount Feature Animation founder and head of animation at Supreme Entertainment) announced that he will exit Supreme in order to join Frenzy as CEO of Animation.

Process
In a similar manner to 20th Century Animation, Sony Pictures Animation, Warner Animation Group and Paramount Animation, Frenzy Animation outsources their feature films to other animation studios. These include Arc Productions (The Princess and the Pied Piper (when it was IDT Entertainment at the time), M.I.S.S.I.O.N., Wild Forest and The Witch's Quest), Sony Pictures Imageworks (The Chadina Islands, Leaders of Academy, Fairytopia and Araceli), and Reel FX Creative Studios (Wild Forest: Circus Getaway, Plucky Chicken, Lily & Lester, and the Sunnie and Birdz franchises co-animated with Mikros Image).
