Our story begins when six co-workers from one of the studios that worked on the CG of Disney’s Tron created a computer graphics studio called Blue Sky Studios, and started their animation journey with Oscars, the Ice Age period, and building a lot of Robots.

Good to know that part one of the look back of Blue Sky Studios is out now. For the beginnings, I find it interesting in terms of how they were involved in well known projects starting with Tron and then other films like Alien Resurrection, Mouse Hunt, Fight Club, and even the Sopranos that I didn’t know until now. I’m also aware of their involvement like Titan AE for the visuals and CG backgrounds too. I do appreciate their involvement as visual effects company at the time throughout the 90s. Bunny: I have yet to see the short but very interesting to know that this is the only time they won an Oscar out of all the projects they made but at least they won something. Ice Age: Always be the best movie of the franchise despite the limited animation at the time but since I grew up with it, it still a good movie that has good heart overall. Robots: Definitely also grew up with this movie as well. Although I didn’t know that William Joyce was a production designer to implement his influence on both production and character design until years later just like what Disney did with Hellboy creator Mike Mignola for the designs on Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Love the animation and enjoy some of the characters particularly with Fender played by the late Robin Williams, which may he rest in peace, though I do understand the criticisms for the cliche story and writing it has but I enjoy it. It a solid creative animated film that I can recommend including today’s kids if they never seen it before. Other than that, can’t wait for part two as I can imagine discussing more about Ice Age and Horton Hears a Who as well.

This was definitely worth the wait, and I knew this wasn’t going to disappoint. It’s great to have Animation Lookback back and this is definitely a good start so far. And good move talking about Bunny considering how important the film is in helping Blue Sky learn the tools necessary to make their animated films and establishing them as an animation studio before making a bigger impact with Ice Age. Have a Happy belated Thanksgiving since you already had your Thanksgiving in Canada and we’re about to have ours tomorrow.

On a side note, it’s surprising to hear you mention John Lasseter’s name without making some joke of how uneasy that name would make most people nowadays.

While I still do not condone Lasseter's past actions, he doesn't strike me as being entirely heartless. If he were, he would not have attended his CalArts class 50th anniversary celebration.

I had an opportunity to see “Bunny” on the silver screen this past September as part of a curated short-subject event, called “Made in New York”. I thought it was ingenious of Chris Wedge and his team at Blue Sky to develop a short that added a storybook layer of warmth to what computer animation was capable of producing at that point in time!

Wait, the baby from Ice Age has a name???? I never knew that!!!!

Hunter O'Laughlin

Same. I still acknowledge John Lasseter’s involvement with Toy Story and in Pixar’s film catalogue up till his resignation, but I don’t condone him for his actions.

As someone who grew up watching Robots, there was one person in production and thought “Robots” was one of the worst experiences he ever worked on. That was Ren & Stimpy co-creator Bob Camp. Bob thought that most of the characters didn’t have enough personality…which explains the constant humor. Why did I bring it up? …He was one of my college professors; nice guy and knew how to construct stories for animation. Regardless, I still find Robots an enjoyable watch for everything else that Mat said.

Happy thanksgiving! This is a great start for the return of A.L. The beginnings of Blue Sky’s history is very fascinating, I should definitely watch that bunny short after learning about the production. So excited for new parts going forward.
