Frederator Studios is an American animation television production studio founded by Fred Seibert in January 1997.[1] Seibert sold Frederator Networks, Inc. in 2022, and it is now a division of Kartoon Studios' Canadian holding company Wow Unlimited Media. The studio's slogan is "Original Cartoons since 1998."

Frederator and Seibert have been credited with producing various, critically-acclaimed media projects, predominantly in children's animation.[2][3] The studio has locations in New York City, where Frederator Digital is based,[4] and Burbank, California.[5]

In 2016, Frederator would be acquired by Canadian animation studio Rainmaker, and merged into Wow! Unlimited Media where Seibert was Chief Creator Officer; he would remain at the company until August 2020. After departing, he would found a successor company, FredFilms, in February 2021.[6]
