D.N. Ace is a Canadian animated television series created by Matthew Wexler and produced by Nelvana. The show debuted on July 6, 2019 on Teletoon (now Cartoon Network).[1] It was the final English-language Teletoon original series before the network rebranded as the new version of Cartoon Network Canada in 2023.
The series follows curious, adventure-loving, mischief-making, proudly nerdy, 12-year-old Ace Ripley who suddenly learns he holds an incredible ability to manipulate DNA by fusing the genes of a living thing with any other thing, to create something entirely new. The hero-in-the-making uses his newfound power to create ridiculous, amazing, and even terrifying mashed up creatures, and tries to save his town from total chaos while trying to have the time of his life.
The series was announced on November 14, 2017, as a comedy adventure series created by Matthew Wexler and produced by Nelvana. Dentsu and OLM, Inc. served as consultants through production and represent the series in Japan.[2] The show features service animation by Yeti Farm.[3] Teletoon released the show's first trailer online on June 21, 2019.[4]
