D'Myna Leagues is a Canadian animated television series, which aired on CTV from 2000 to 2004.[1] Loosely based on the baseball writing of W. P. Kinsella,[1] the series was set in a world populated by anthropomorphic birds, and centred on the minor league baseball team in the town of Mynaville.[2] The baseball games were represented by placing two-dimensional characters in three-dimensional backgrounds.[3] The teams of bird characters were opposed by rival teams like the Weasels, the Pigs, the Beavers and the Elephants.[4]

The series was created by the Vancouver-based Studio B Productions.[5]

In the United States, the series aired on The WB 100+ Station Group.[6] The show is distributed internationally by Sony Pictures Television.
