Blue Sky Studios

Blue Sky Studios is a defunct CGI Animation Company Operated under 20th Century Fox. It was created in 1987 by Chris Wedge & Carlos Saldanha & has only produced 13 animated movies, being Ice Age (5 Movies), Robots, Horton Hears A Who, Rio (2 Movies), Epic, The Peanuts Movie, Ferdinand & Spies in Disguise. All the films were released & distributed by 20th Century Fox, while Spies in Disguise was the only film under Disney's distribution in 2019. Scrat from the Ice Age movies is the studio's mascot since 2013, as he appeared hanging for dear life on the letter B. The company has started off animating visuals for films & commercials, such as Star Trek: Insurrection & Nickelodeon TV Spots. They then made an animated short called "Bunny", which was successfully praised for its visuals & would later go on to create theatrical films. In 2009, they animated the current version of the 20th Century Fox logo after moving from New York to Connecticut, as well as animating Fox Searchlight Pictures' logo in 2011. They were then acquired by Disney in 2019 along with 20th Century Fox & other assets. Due to the high significance of COVID-19, Disney had decided to shut down the animation facility, as they believed it would be impossible to run a 3rd animation studio due to money & the virus. However, 833time decided to make plans quickly to save it so they could continue animating for films. In a post, the channel announced plans to purchase the animation studio for 15,000 dollars to save it from closure & wanting to collaborate with it to live on for generations. A few weeks into the plans of purchase, the channel posted 2 videos explaining, revealing that he believed & understood Disney's motives to reason why shutting it down was because of COVID-19. This would imply that under 833time's ownership, this could help improve on 833time's animated content in the future. Despite it being shut down, 833time still sends out support request for purchase on YouTube & DeviantArt.
