Blue Sky Animation Studios



Blue Sky Animation Studios, Inc. (formerly known as Blue Sky Studios) is an American computer animation film studio based in Greenwich, Connecticut that has been owned by 20th Century Fox from 1997 to 2019 and Disney since 2019. The studio was founded in February 1987 by Chris Wedge, Michael Ferraro, Carl Ludwig, Alison Brown, David Brown, and Eugene Troubetzkoy after the company they worked in, MAGI, one of the visual effects studios behind Tron (1982), shut down. Using its in-house rendering software, the studio had worked on visual effects for commercials and films before completely dedicating itself to animated film production in 2002 starting with the release of Ice Age.

Ice Age and Rio are the studio's most successful franchises, while Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! and The Peanuts Movie are its most critically acclaimed films. As of 2013, Scrat, a character from the Ice Age films, is the studio's mascot.

on January 27, 2019, the Disney/Fox merger is closed, and Blue Sky Studios folded Pixar Animation Studios. from now on, Disney Pictures will own all Blue Sky Studios films.
