Speaking of the name "Blue Sky Studio", many people may not know it, but when it comes to the movies "Ice Age" or "Rio Adventure", everyone must be familiar with it, and "Blue Sky Studio" is the producer behind them, that is, the animation studio, officially closed on 202 1!

When it comes to "Blue Sky Studio", many people may feel strange, but when it comes to the long animation of this studio, I don't know how many you have seen, such as Ice Age series, Horton anonymous, Rio adventure series, Snoopy peanut movie, robot adventure and so on. There is also an animation I like very much called Bull Adventure!
This animation studio was established in 1987, and 1997 was acquired by 20th Century Fox, while Disney acquired 20th Century Fox on 20th19, so Disney was granted the right to operate "Blue Sky Studio", which was a very difficult choice for Disney at that time, because Disney owned three animation studios at that time, which were Disney. For Disney, it is very laborious and unnecessary to run three animation studios at the same time, so many people began to speculate whether Disney would close one of them. If so, you will know which one it will choose in detail. In fact, as early as Disney acquired 20th Century Fox.

Do you know what it means to close a studio
Does it mean that there is no sequel to the works of "Blue Sky Studio" from now on?
Or will all employees of "Blue Sky Studio" change careers?
Actually, it's not like this at all!
The copyright of the sequel of Blue Sky Studio will remain in Disney's mind, which means that one day we will see a sequel or anecdote of Ice Age produced by Disney's animation department.
When "Blue Sky Studio" closed, its first branch had 450 staff members. Most of them will go to other studios or continue to work in the animation industry. Most participants will change their positions or even demote their internships, but some elite talents will be promoted to take charge of bigger projects.

So what did the collapse of "Blue Sky Studio" lose?
What is lost here is the plan and ideas of the original "Blue Sky Studio", the independent style of the original "Blue Sky Studio" animation, another possibility of the animation industry, and a choice for children.
According to the original schedule, from June 5438 +2022 10, "Blue Sky Studio" will release a new work "Nimona". Of course, this is also an animation, telling a medieval fantasy story. The protagonist is a girl named "Nimona", but now it seems that this plan has been completely terminated.
In addition, several films may be affected. For example, a film directed by mark osborne, the director of Kung Fu Panda and The Little Prince, is called Greetings from Kindergarten, but the film project without any specific introduction is called Wandering Seabirds.

Blue sky studio is still difficult to maintain, not to mention some small studios living under the epidemic!
In my opinion, every animation studio is providing children with a possible choice to broaden their horizons. This alone is very meaningful!
If one day most children like Kawara Tsutomu the robot, some children will still like Rodney in The Adventures of Robots.
When it comes to Japanese animation, everyone likes Miyazaki Hayao, but some people still like to eat "red pepper". I think this is the future of the industry!
The future will never be in capital, but in creation!
Finally, I'd like to conclude my speech by briefly introducing the project "Wandering Seabirds" that Blue Sky Studio was developing before:
"When all seabirds choose to migrate, what happens if a bird decides to stay?"
This question is still left to the children who grow up later to answer!
