Adelaide Productions Inc. (also referred to as Columbia TriStar Television Animation, and later Sony Pictures Television Animation) is a television animation division of Sony Pictures Television that was founded on April 12, 1993, by Columbia Pictures Television.[1] Unlike other animation studios, it does not have an official logo of its own, in which the parent company's logo is used instead after credits.

After a period of dormancy, Adelaide Productions became a television production division for Sony Pictures Animation in 2018.[2] In 2022, Adelaide's production capabilities were taken over by Chuck Productions, Inc., a subsidiary of Sony Pictures Animation, while Silvergate Media was rebranded as Sony Pictures Television Kids. Adelaide Productions remains an active subsidiary of Sony Pictures Television, holding the copyrights to its previous productions.[1]
