20th Century Animation, Inc.
[3]
(previously known as
Fox Family Films
,
Fox Animation Studios
, and
20th Century Fox Animation
and sometimes referred to as
Fox Animation
) is an American
animation studio
located in
Century City, Los Angeles
. Formed in 1994, it is organized as a division and label of
20th Century Studios
(formerly
20th Century Fox
), a subsidiary of
the Walt Disney Studios
, and is tasked with producing animated feature-length films.
[4]
At one point, 20th Century Animation had two
subsidiaries
:
Fox Animation Studios
, which was shut down on June 26, 2000, and
Blue Sky Studios
(the latter became the primary unit of 20th Century Animation), which was closed on April 10, 2021.
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment
distributes the films produced by 20th Century Animation in home media under the
20th Century Home Entertainment
banner.
[5]
The studio has produced a total of 30 feature films (six films as Fox Family Films, three films from Fox Animation Studios,
thirteen feature films
from Blue Sky Studios, and eight original films), most of them being distributed by 20th Century Studios. Their first film was
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie
and their first animated film was
Anastasia
, with the most recent release being
Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever
.
Anastasia
(1997?1999),
Ice Age
(2002?present) and
Rio
(2011?present) are the studio's most commercially successful franchises, while
Robots
(2005),
The Simpsons Movie
(2007),
Horton Hears a Who!
(2008),
The Book of Life
(2014),
The Peanuts Movie
(2015),
Spies in Disguise
(2019), and
Ron's Gone Wrong
(2021) are among its most critically praised films.
Background
Before 20th Century Fox started its
animation
division
, Fox released its first seven animated films, such as
Hugo the Hippo
(1975),
Wizards
,
Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure
(1977),
Fire and Ice
(1983),
FernGully: The Last Rainforest
(1992)
[6]
Once Upon a Forest
(1993) and
The Pagemaster
(1994).
In May 1993, Fox agreed to a two-year first-look deal with
Nickelodeon
for family films.
[7]
The deal would mostly include original material, though a Nickelodeon executive did not rule out the possibility of making films based on
The Ren & Stimpy Show
,
Rugrats
and
Doug
.
[8]
However, no films came out of the deal due to the 1994 acquisition of
Paramount Pictures
by Nickelodeon's parent company,
Viacom
, and they would distribute the film projects instead.
[9]
History
1994?1998: Formation and early years
The division initially started in February 1994 as
Fox Family Films
, as one of four film divisions of 20th Century Fox under executive
John Matoian
. The division was planned to produce six feature films a year as part of a plan to produce more films per year overall.
[7]
Fox senior vice president of production
Chris Meledandri
was transferred into the unit as executive vice president in March 1994 after having been hired the previous year.
[10]
The week of May 6, 1994, Fox Family announced the hiring of
Don Bluth
and
Gary Goldman
for a new $100 million
animation studio
[11]
which began construction that year in
Phoenix, Arizona
. In three years, the animation studio would produce and release its first film,
Anastasia
.
[4]
In September 1994, Matoian was promoted by
Rupert Murdoch
to head up the
Fox network
.
[12]
Meledandri was selected to head up the unit in 1994.
[13]
It produced live-action films such as
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie
(1995),
Dunston Checks In
(1996) and
Home Alone 3
. By August 1997, Fox Family had decreased the number of live films.
[4]
R.L. Stine
agreed with Fox Family Films in January 1998 for a film adaptation of the
Goosebumps
book franchise with
Tim Burton
producing.
[14]
1997?2020: 20th Century Fox Animation, Fox Animation Studios and success with Blue Sky Studios
In August 1997, Fox's Los Angeles-based visual effects company, VIFX, acquired
majority interest
in
Blue Sky Studios
to form a new visual effects and animation company, temporarily renamed "Blue Sky/VIFX".
[15]
Blue Sky had previously did the character animation of
MTV Films
' first film
Joe's Apartment
.
Following the studio's expansion, Blue Sky produced character animation for the films
Alien Resurrection
,
A Simple Wish
,
Mouse Hunt
,
Star Trek: Insurrection
and
Fight Club
.
[16]
VIFX was later sold to another VFX studio
Rhythm and Hues Studios
in March 1999.
[17]
According to Blue Sky founder
Chris Wedge
, Fox considered selling Blue Sky as well by 2000 due to financial difficulties in the visual effects industry in general.
In 1998, following the success of
Anastasia
, the division was renamed to
Fox Animation Studios
, refocusing on animated feature films, including stop-motion, mixed media and digital production. The division's live action films in development at the time included
Marvel Comics
'
Silver Surfer
, the
disaster film
spoof
Disaster Area
,
Fantastic Voyage
[4]
and
Goosebumps
.
[14]
The 1998 film
Ever After
, a Cinderella adaptation, was the division's last live action film.
[4]
At this time, there were several animated films on the company's development slate:
Dark Town
with
Henry Selick
,
Chris Columbus
and
Sam Hamm
,
Santa Calls
at
Blue Sky
, and
Matt Groening
(
The Simpsons
),
Steve Oedekerk
and
Joss Whedon
(
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
) projects. The Phoenix studio at the time was producing
Planet Ice
expected in 1999 and directed by Art Vitello and
Anastasia
producer/directors Don Bluth and Gary Goldman's then soon to be announced project.
[18]
Chris Meledandri
remained as the president of the division,
[4]
[19]
which was known by 1999 as 20th Century Fox Animation.
[20]
The only television series that the Phoenix studio produced was
Adventures from the Book of Virtues
, which was a co-production between Fox Animation Studios and
PorchLight Entertainment
; that series would air on
PBS
between 1996 and December 2000.
[21]
[22]
20th Century Fox Animation vice president of physical production Chuck Richardson was sent in early December 1999 to Fox subsidiary Blue Sky Studios as general manager and senior vice president. Richardson was sent to prepare Blue Sky for feature animation production.
[23]
The Phoenix studio, which kept the Fox Animation Studios name, laid off 2/3 of its employee workforce in February 2000 before its closure in late June of that year, ten days after
Titan A.E.
was released and six months before
Adventures from the Book of Virtues
aired its final episode. Fox Animation looked to produce films at Blue Sky and its Los Angeles headquarters.
[24]
Chris Wedge, film producer Lori Forte, and Meledandri presented Fox with a script for a comedy
feature film
titled
Ice Age
.
[25]
Studio management pressured staff to sell their remaining shares and options to Fox on the promise of continued employment on feature-length films. The studio moved to White Plains NY and started production on
Ice Age
. As the film wrapped, Fox, having little faith in the film, feared that it might bomb at the box office, terminated half of the production staff, and tried unsuccessfully to find a buyer for the film and the studio.

Instead,
Ice Age
, Blue Sky's first feature film, was released by Fox in conjunction with 20th Century Fox Animation on March 15, 2002, with financial success and critical acclaim, receiving a nomination for an
Academy Award for Best Animated Feature
at the
75th Academy Awards
in 2003.
[26]
Ice Age
would subsequently spawn a
successful franchise
and launch Blue Sky into producing feature films and into becoming a
household name
in feature animation.
In January 2007, Meledandri left for
Universal Pictures
to set up
Illumination
there with Vanessa Morrison as his replacement while answering to newly appointed 20th Century Fox Film Group vice chairman Hutch Parker. Morrison moved from the live action division where she handled family-children fare as senior vice president of production.
[27]
Morrision was making deal with outside producers like she approved a
stop-motion adaptation
of
Roald Dahl
's
Fantastic Mr. Fox
.
[28]
In September 2017,
Locksmith Animation
formed a multi-year production deal with
20th Century Fox
, who would distribute Locksmith's films, with Locksmith aiming to release a film every 12?18 months. Fox Animation was later brought on to oversee the deal, which was to bolster Blue Sky's output and replace the loss of distributing
DreamWorks Animation
films, which are now owned and distributed by Universal Pictures.
[29]
On October 30, 2017, Morrison was named president of a newly created 20th Century Fox division,
Fox Family
, which has a mandate similar to Fox Animation when it was called Fox Family Films.
[30]
Andrea Miloro and Robert Baird were named co-president of Fox Animation the same day and would also have direct oversight of Blue Sky and oversee the Locksmith Animation deal and grow Fox Animation with other partnerships and producer deals.
[31]
2019?present: Disney era, renaming and closure of Blue Sky Studios
On October 18, 2018, it was announced that Fox Animation would be added alongside 20th Century Fox to the
Walt Disney Studios
following
their acquisition
, with co-presidents Andrea Miloro and Robert Baird retaining leadership while reporting to Walt Disney Studios Chairman,
Alan Horn
and Twentieth Century Fox vice chairman Emma Watts.
[32]
On March 21, 2019, Disney announced that Fox Animation (including
Blue Sky Studios
) would be integrated as new units within the Walt Disney Studios, with Co-presidents Andrea Miloro and Robert Baird continuing to lead the studio and reporting directly to Alan Horn.
[33]
Miloro stepped down as co-president in late July 2019.
[34]
In August 2019,
Walt Disney Animation Studios
head Andrew Millstein was named co-president of Blue Sky for day-to-day operations alongside Baird, while
Pixar Animation Studios
president
Jim Morris
would also be taking on a supervisory role over Millstein.
[2]
With the Disney takeover, the Locksmith deal left 20th Century Fox for
Warner Bros.
in October 2019, except for the first and now only film under the deal,
Ron's Gone Wrong
.
[35]
With the August 2019 20th Century Fox
slate overhaul announcement
, projects from 20th Century Fox franchises such as
Night at the Museum
,
Diary of the Wimpy Kid
, and
Ice Age
were announced for the then-upcoming
Disney+
streaming service.
[36]
These projects would later be announced during Disney's Investor Day in December 2020 as animated feature films for the aforementioned streaming service.
[37]
The first of these projects was an
animated reboot
of
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
, which was released on December 3, 2021, under
Walt Disney Pictures
.
On January 17, 2020, Disney dropped the "Fox" name from the two main film studio units acquired from 21st Century Fox?20th Century Fox and
Fox Searchlight Pictures
.
[38]
Fox Animation took on its current name with its incorporation on January 28, 2020, to avoid confusion with
Fox Corporation
.
[3]
On February 9, 2021, Disney announced that it was shutting down Blue Sky Studios in April 2021, the main unit of 20th Century Animation.
[5]
[39]
It closed on April 10, 2021.
Process
Unlike animation studios such as
Pixar
or
Walt Disney Animation Studios
, 20th Century Animation does not have an in-house animation style, but rather acts as a division and somewhat of a distribution label for animated films that are made under or acquired by
20th Century Studios
. An example of this is with Fox Animation Studios and Blue Sky Studios' films; both of which were subsidiaries of the company. Another example of this is
Fantastic Mr. Fox
.
[40]
[41]
Additionally,
Ron's Gone Wrong
was the first and only film made under a deal between 20th Century and Locksmith Animation.
[35]
However, the animation production of 20th Century Animation's films (except for Blue Sky Studios) is
outsourced
to other studios. For example,
The Simpsons Movie
was animated at
Film Roman
alongside
AKOM
and
Rough Draft Studios
, while
Ron's Gone Wrong
was animated by
DNEG
.
The Book of Life
was developed outside of 20th Century Animation at Reel FX, with the studio co-producing the film later on.
[42]
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
and
The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild
were animated by
Bardel Entertainment
.
Fox Animation Studios (headquartered in
Phoenix, Arizona
) and Blue Sky Studios (headquartered in
White Plains, New York
and later
Greenwich, Connecticut
) animated their respective films internally, however
Anastasia
and
Titan A.E.
were outsourced to multiple animation studios, including Bardel Entertainment, Reality Check Studios, and Blue Sky,
[43]
[44]
when the latter of the three was still a
VFX studio
.
Both Fox Animation Studios and Blue Sky had their own unique animation style, with the former having the same animation style as
Don Bluth
.
Filmography
Fox Family Films
Fox Animation Studios
From 1994 to 2000,
[45]
[46]
Fox operated Fox Animation Studios, a
traditional animation
studio which was started to compete with Walt Disney Animation Studios, which was experiencing great success with films such as
The Little Mermaid
,
Beauty and the Beast
,
Aladdin
and
The Lion King
. The Fox studio, however, was not as successful. Their first feature
Anastasia
made nearly $140 million at the worldwide box office on a $53 million budget in 1997,
[47]
but their next feature,
Titan A.E.
, was a large financial loss, losing $100 million for 20th Century Fox in 2000.
[48]
The lack of box office success, coupled with the rise of
computer animation
, led Fox to shut down the studios.
[46]
Blue Sky Studios
From 1997 until 2021, Fox owned Blue Sky Studios, a computer animation company known for the
Ice Age
franchise.
[49]
Fox has had much more success with the studio, with the box office receipts of their films becoming competitive with the likes of Pixar and DreamWorks Animation. On March 21, 2019, Blue Sky Studios was integrated as a separate unit within Walt Disney Studios, yet they would continue to report to Fox Animation presidents Andrea Miloro and Robert Baird.
[50]
[51]
In February 2021, Disney had announced that Blue Sky would cease all operations and close sometime within April 2021, eventually shuttering on April 10, 2021.
[5]
[39]
Co-productions and original films
Starting in 2007, 20th Century Animation occasionally produces its own films without Blue Sky Studios' involvement while also co-producing films from other studios. The company is not credited on these films like how they are with Blue Sky's films and Fox Animation Studios'
Anastasia
and
Titan A.E
. As of 2022,
The Simpsons Movie
remains their highest-grossing original film.
All films listed are produced and or distributed by 20th Century Studios unless noted otherwise.
