We are honored by the extraordinary opportunity Paramount and Nickelodeon have given to local Miami animation talent and look forward to future collaborations.”

They understood my vision yet made it their own. Their contribution is a highlight of the movie.”
Team Legend Studios stated, “We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Paramount, Nickelodeon and director Joe Menendez on the upcoming Henry Danger The Movie. Over the past few years, we’ve had the privilege of working closely with Paramount on a variety of projects. When Joe was seeking a local animation studio in his hometown of Miami and approached us to bring the film’s 2D animated scenes to life, it felt like the perfect match. Partnering with Joe Menendez, whose legendary directing brought so much energy and vision to this project, has been an incredible experience.
