Limestone Animation Studio Launches with ‘R.L. Stine’s Stinetinglers’ Series Project

Limestone Animation, a new Canadian animation and digital media studio based in Kingston, Ontario, has officially launched along with its first project in development: R.L. Stine’s Stinetinglers. Stine is the mastermind behind the Goosebumps and Fear Street book series and has amassed more than 500 million global book sales to date.

Co-founded by industry veterans Sean Connolly and Donnie MacIntyre, who will also serve as Co-CEOs, Limestone Animation is designed from the ground up to embrace modern production technologies while championing the creativity of its team and collaborators.

R.L. Stine’s Stinetinglers is adapted from Stine’s latest horror anthology series, published by Feiwel and Friends/Macmillan, which has already seen four volumes released with a fifth scheduled for 2026. The series is set in the seemingly idyllic town of Blooming Hills, where unknown forces unleash chilling terrors on local teens. The project marks a milestone as the first time one of the legendary author’s properties is being adapted exclusively for animation, following decades of global live-action film and television hits.

“Animation is the perfect medium to tell the twisted tales of Stinetinglers,” said R.L. Stine. “These spooky stories will be brought to life in a way unlike any of my work before. But more than that, I was blown away by the unique spin the team at Limestone Animation proposed and I immediately knew they were the right partners to bring to screen my newest stories. My lips are sealed, but I can’t wait for the world to see what they have in store!”

In a joint statement, Connolly and MacIntyre said: “We’re honored that R.L. Stine has trusted us with his latest book series. Stinetinglers is the perfect project to launch our studio with because it represents everything we want Limestone Animation to be: the home of creative storytelling that is bold, imaginative, and designed to bring audiences of all ages together. There’s nothing like a little spooky fun to unite generations.”

Connolly, MacIntyre, Stine and Eric Birnberg will serve as series Executive Producers along with Yvonne Bernard and Dan Bernard of L.A.-based Lookout Entertainment.

Limestone Animation will be attending the upcoming MIPCOM content market in Cannes.
