At first, it just provided music for cartoons (it used a unique strategy whereby the animation company got to use the music for free, but Saban had the publishing rights, so could collect broadcast royalties from TV stations via collection agencies), but eventually started producing its own animation. It produced many of Saban's animated series that had the prefix "Saban's" in front of them. Following the sale of </font><font>Saban Entertainment and Fox Family Worldwide to Disney in 2001, it was renamed to its then-new name in 2002 and produced shows for Jetix Europe. It was shut down in 2009.<br/><br/><br/>(2002-2009)</font><br/></font><div align="center"><font size="3">[[File:Dd359554388675b6a76c6b46c8cb8392.png|206px|SIP Animation (2003)]][[File:Aa48cf233a268a1957ad8fa66afb2b69.png|256px|SIP Animation (2008)]][[File:6ed279ffae6012bfd0db78104c5b9679.png|274px|SIP Animation (2008, 2)]]</font></div><font><font size="3"><font><u>Nickname</u>: "The Swirl"<br/><br/><u>Logo</u>: On a white background, a </font><font color="#0000ff">blue</font><font>, crudely drawn circle zooms out and spins, and large </font><font color="#ffff00">yellow</font><font> and small black letters in a jumble spin out as the circle shrinks. It becomes</font><font> the word "SIP Animation", with "SIP" written in large </font><font color="#ffff00">yellow</font><font> letters, also crudely written, and animation, in small, equally crude, dark blue lettering below, and the "I" is dotted by the </font><font color="#0000ff">blue</font><font> circle.<br/></font><br/><u>Early Variant</u>: In this variant, the logo spins faster, and is seen much smaller.

None of SIP's shows air on TV anymore and most of them have never aired in the United States. The early variant is seen on the second season of <i>What's With Andy?</i> and the first 2 episodes of <i>The Tofus</i>. The main logo was seen on <i>The Tofus</i>, <i>W.I.T.C.H.</i><i>, </i><i>A.T.O.M. - Alpha Teens on Machines</i><i> </i>(which preserves the logo on Amazon Prime prints)<i> </i>and<i> </i><i>Combo Ninos</i><i> </i>as well as 4 TV pilots produced by SIP - </font><font><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"><i>The Jokers, Ko Bushi, Wesh Wesh Express </i>and<i> Astaquana</i>. The print variant is seen in the credits for <i>Combo Ninos</i> and a short film titled <i>Inukshuk</i>, as well as at the beginning of <i>Wesh Wesh Express</i>. </font><i>Gadget and the Gadgetinis</i><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> was also produced by the company, but didn't use this logo, just an in-credit notice.</font><br/><br/><u>Editor's Note</u><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">:</font></font></font>Even though the crudeness looks cheap, the colors used makes the logo bright and nice.</div><br/></div></div>Travis
