  • Blue Sky Studios is probably the biggest animation studio to no longer be with us. At one point, it was the THIRD biggest contender in the race! With only DreamWorks and Pixar as their rival, these guys had some of the biggest successes of the early-2000s. So what went wrong? What is the full history of the Ice Age Studio? And is it possible to pinpoint the company's eventual fate early? Was there a singular point, one mistake, that led the studio down to where it ended? Come see our video essay dissection of all things Blue Sky. This is The Fall of Blue Sky Studios...

    No matter what the cause or fate this studio heads into, the first three Ice Ages, Robots or Rio will always have a place in my heart. All classics in my eyes.

    Fox back then really liked to drag out their animated series/franchises quite a lot, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Ice Age, you name it.
    Also, those Chris Meledandri connections are quite funny in hindsight.

    So, Magi were the creators of CGI, Synthavision Sampler was the first CGI animation, in 1974, so that means that (in some form) they lasted for nearly 50 years, minimum, and that makes me respect them more.

    Blue Sky will never die. It may have its peaks and valleys, but it will always be a memory. My fondest memory of the studio was when I saw The Peanuts Movie in theaters in 2015 (same year Inside Out and Minions came out and I saw them in theaters also).

    Blue Sky is such an underrated studio in my opinion but I think they ended on a good note with Spies in Disguise. I like the cop mom at the beginning. Sad that she died with no real explanation. And when it became Blue Sky's last movie and the only released under Disney, it made it even sadder. I think a cop that cool would go by Officer Wendy. Blue Sky is better than DreamWorks, fight me

They had and shutdown. Don't forget they had touched, Stone pictures? They shut it down. I believe it was in 2016. And now It looks like Hulu Might be going. too They just don't care about their products. If they don't know what to do😢 with them they'll just shut them down.
