As both TMS and their sub-studio '''Telecom''', they have done a LOT of work for foreign animation, including the Hasbro series ''[[Visionaries]]'', ''Inspector Gadget'', ''The Real Ghostbusters'', ''Bionic Six'', ''Mighty Orbots'', ''Tiny Toon Adventures'', ''Animaniacs'', ''[[Batman]] the Animated Series'', ''Justice League: Doom'', the 1994 ''[[Spider-Man]]'' cartoon, and you wouldn't believe how much more. Basically, if the animation in any of these shows looks ''absolutely stunningly fantastic'', it was probably TMS.

TMS Entertainment Co., Ltd. (株式会社トムス　エンタテインメント, Kabushiki-gaisha Tomusu Entateinmento), formerly known as Tokyo Movie Shinsha (東京ムービー新社, Tōkyō Mūbī Shinsha), is a Japanese animation studio currently owned by Sega Holdings Co., Ltd. Some of their domestic productions include nearly every Lupin III series and movie since the '70s, Sonic X, The New Adventures of Gigantor, Bakugan, Detective Conan, Space Cobra and five decades worth of other stuff.

As both TMS and their sub-studio Telecom, they have done a LOT of work for foreign animation, including the Hasbro series Visionaries, Inspector Gadget, The Real Ghostbusters, Bionic Six, Mighty Orbots, Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Batman the Animated Series, Justice League: Doom, the 1994 Spider-Man cartoon, and you wouldn't believe how much more. Basically, if the animation in any of these shows looks absolutely stunningly fantastic, it was probably TMS.

TMS would replace Toei for animation duties on the Generation 1 toy commercials from 1988 to 1990, and provide background artwork for two episodes of Transformers: Cybertron through the Telecom unit.
