20th Century Animation

"This article is about the 20th animation studio that controls both the Hollywood and Los Angeles studios. For the main in-house animation division of 20th Century Studios, see 20th Century Animation (feature animation department). For the television animation division of 20th Television, see 20th Television Animation." 20th Century Animation is the animation studio division of 20th Century Studios. Founded on August 13, 1968, the studio creates animated feature films, short films, and television programs for 20th Century Studios, and currently maintains its main feature animation studio in Hollywood, California, which produces a total of 58 feature films including the Pete, John and Jetty, Calvin the Squirrel, Henry's Quest, Helen and the Men from Outer Space, Charles and the Mouse, The Time Travelers and Susan franchises as of as well as a satellite studio in Los Angeles, which produces animated television series, direct-to-video and occasional theatrical animated feature films. It also serves as the releasing banner for other animated films based on 20th Century Studios properties.

The studio was originally formed as 20th Century Fox Cartoon Studios in 1968 by some of Fox's former animation branch 20th Century Fox Classics Animation alumni, as well as some of the staff from Terrytoons alumni, as well as some of the staff from Walter Lantz Productions, Cambria Productions and MGM Animation/Visual Arts. Fox also hires Don Bluth former animation branch Sullivan-Bluth Studios alumni and Turner Entertainment former animation branch Hanna-Barbera alumni, as well as alumni from Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment and News Corp. Animation, to work at its animation division in 1997, as old Fox staffs passed on from their lives and retired. In its prime, 20th Century Animation was prime competitor of Walt Disney Animation Studios (for feature films) and Warner Bros. Animation (for television series and direct-to-video films).

In recent years, 20th Century Animation has primarily focused upon the production of television, feature and direct-to-video animation of other properties owned by 20th Century Studios, notably including Saban Animation, as well as those related to films that already exist since 1971.

20th Century Animation continues to produce films using both traditional animation and computer-generated imagery (CGI).

Background
Before it came around, 20th Century Fox Classics Animation first started off with the Educational Pictures. Educational Pictures was built on Terrytoon series, the company both backed and distributed Terrytoons. Farmer Al Falfa was Terry's most familiar character in the 1930s, Kiko the Kangaroo was spun off the Farmer Al Falfa series. Most of the other cartoons featured generic animal characters. One of the stock designs was a scruffy dog with a black patch around one eye; Terry ultimately built a series around this character, now known as Puddy the Pup.

Paul Terry may have realized that Educational was in financial trouble, because he found another lucrative outlet for his product. In 1938, he arranged to release his older cartoons through home-movie distributor Castle Films. Educational went out of business within the year, but 20th Century-Fox continued to release Terrytoons to theaters for the next two decades. With a new emphasis on "star" characters, Terrytoons featured the adventures of Super Mouse (later renamed Mighty Mouse), the talking magpies Heckle and Jeckle, silly Gandy Goose, Dinky Duck, and The Terry Bears.

During the 1940s and early 1950s, 20th Century Fox Classics Animation begun working on Sourpuss, Moddy the Beetle and Telly the Canary. and it continued on with another series like Wacky Toons, Dingbat, Roquefort & Percy, Half Pint, Dimwit, Willie the Walrus, Percival Sleuthhound, Dizzy the Cat, Clancy the Bull, Snuffy Smith, Nutty the Bear and Let's Sing a SongToons.

Despite the artistic drawbacks imposed by Terry's inflexible business policies, Terrytoons was nominated four times for the Academy Award for Animated Short Film: All Out for V in 1942, My Boy, Johnny in 1944, Mighty Mouse in Gypsy Life in 1945, and Sidney's Family Tree in 1958. In 1950, after seeing the success of Cinderella, Terrytoons and 20th Century Fox Classics Animation expanded onto feature production.

The studio was sold outright by the retiring Paul Terry to CBS in 1956, but 20th Century Fox (TCF) continued to distribute the studio's releases. It became a division of the CBS Films subsidiary. The following year, CBS put it under the management of UPA alumnus Gene Deitch, who had to work with even lower budgets.

Deitch's most notable works at the studio were the Tom Terrific cartoon segments for the Captain Kangaroo television show. He also introduced a number of new characters, such as Sidney the Elephant, Gaston Le Crayon, John Doormat, and Clint Clobber.

Bill Weiss took complete control of the studio. Under his supervision, Heckle and Jeckle, Puddy the Pup, Telly the Canary, Dizzy the Cat, Nutty the Bear and Mighty Mouse went back into production. Besides the three core directors of the Terry and Fox era who were still involved as animators and directors, two Famous Studios stalwarts joined the crew, Dave Tendlar and Martin Taras. Other new theatrical cartoon series included Hector Heathcote, Luno and Hashimoto San. In addition, the studio began producing the Deputy Dawg series for television in 1959. Another television production for the Captain Kangaroo show was The Adventures of Lariat Sam, which was written in part by Gene Wood, who would later become the announcer for several TV game shows including Family Feud.

Phil Scheib continued as the studio's musical director through the mid-1960s when he was replaced by Jim Timmens and Elliott Lawrence.

The best-known talent at Terrytoons and 20th Century Fox Classics Animation in the 1960s was animator/director/producer Ralph Bakshi, who started with Terrytoons and 20th Century Fox Classics Animation in the 1950s as an opaquer, and eventually helmed the Mighty Heroes series. Bakshi left Terrytoons in 1967 for Paramount, which closed its cartoon unit later that year. He would later go on to produce Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures for television in 1987. Also next year, the 20th Century Fox Classics Animation was closed down after the last Dizzy the Cat short was finished, Dizzy the Cat last short was named, ''That's My Daddy. That's My Daddy'' was completed for a release on September.

On July 4, 1971, Viacom International spun off from CBS; neither Viacom International nor CBS had any interest in Terrytoons. The Terrytoons film library was still regularly re-released to theaters by Fox. The studio's last short was an unsold TV pilot called Sally Sargent, about a 16-year-old girl who is a secret agent. Soon after Sally Sargent was completed, Viacom International ended their relationship with Fox and re-releases ceased. Terrytoons’ existence soon came to an end. After the departure of Bakshi, the studio petered out, and finally closed in 1972.

1968–70: Founding
In early 1968, Sean Elliott and Richard Hoffman, met with 20th Century Fox to discuss the creation of a feature animation division, an offer which Elliot and Hoffman immediately accepted. 20th Century Fox Cartoon Studios was officially established on August 13, 1968, to produce theatrically released animated feature films to rival Disney's animated features. Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg was brought in to head the new division, which was set up in a building on the Fox studios lot. To build the talent base, Elliot brought over artists from Terrytoons, while Eisner and Katzenberg brought over some of the staff from Walter Lantz Productions, Cambria Productions and MGM Animation/Visual Arts.

Some of 20th Century Fox Classics Animation' artists came to 20th Century Fox Cartoon Studios in winter 1968 after 20th Century Fox Classics Animation was shut down and was merged into PAS.

1971–1984: Initial success
The first of Fox's animated features was The Princess and the Goblin (1971). The Princess and the Goblin received positive reviews from critics and was a success at the box office. Animation production for The Princess and the Goblin was primarily done at the new Fox feature animation studio, although much of the work was outsourced to animation studios around the world. In 1972, Fox signed a co-production deal with Richard Williams and The Bobbs-Merrill Company to co-produce and distribute Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure (1977).

Meanwhile, Fox Television Animation opened its doors in 1982 to produce television series for 20th Century Fox Television. That same year, the studio produced its very first production, which is an animated television series based on My Friend Flicka, in conjunction with Hanna-Barbera Productions, airing on NBC from 1981 to 1984.

Initially focusing on Saturday morning cartoons such as Cheaper of the Dozen, it expanded in 1989 with its first two cable show Little Bo Peep and The Simpsons. Fourth overseas Fox studios were set up to produce the company's animated television series in 1984. However, As direct-to-video increased in importance, the overseas studios moved to making feature films.

Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg's departure and "rock bottom" (1985–1989)
In 1985, two years after the released of The Three Penguins, Michael Eisner left Fox and became CEO of The Walt Disney Company, along with Jeffrey Katzenberg who later become chairman of the company as well as the founder of DreamWorks in 1994, while Sean Elliott and Richard Hoffman started as producer of the features. The studio began the mid-1980s with the release of The Gold of Heaven, the last film project to be approved by Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg. However, the film was received mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office.

In 1987, 20th Century Fox Cartoon Studios was renamed into 20th Century Fox Feature Animation, and released its twelfth film, Hungry Hungry Hippos, which based on the children's board game of the same name by Milton Bradley Company (now owned by Hasbro). Hungry Hungry Hippos opened in the theaters on the same day as Samuel Goldwyn/Bagdasarian's The Chipmunk Adventure, however, the film received negative reviews and it performed poorly at the box office, putting the future of the animation division in jeopardy and losing to its apparent competitor, The Chipmunk Adventure. However, the film became even more successful through merchandising and subsequent home video releases in the 1990s and became into a cult classic. Both The Gold of Heaven and Hungry Hungry Hippos would come to represent what would later be referred to as the "rock bottom" point for Fox animation.

In 1990, Disney's The Rescuers Down Under was released on the same year and received critical acclaim and a commercial success than Three Billy Goats Gruff. To compete with Disney animated films, Fox launched a marketing campaign to challenge Disney head-on and emphasize the more magical/musical-like experience, with slogans including "Fox have more magic than the mouse" and "With more magical, more musical and more entertaining, better than a mouse, Fox have it all".

After the success of Three Billy Goats Gruff, it was reported that 20th Century Fox Feature Animation would make a partnership with Sullivan Bluth Studios on few animated feature films, such as Little Iodine, Henry's Quest, and Helen and the Men from Outer Space.

Logo
Initially, 20th Century Animation never had an on-screen logo for their first sixteen features. They just used the standard 20th Century Fox logo.

Beginning with the release of Castle Knights: The Power of Universe in 1991, 20th Century Fox Feature Animation introduced its in-credits logo. The logo reads "Created and Produced by 20th Century Fox Feature Animation Los Angeles, California" and was superimposed over either credits background or black background. For FoxToons Studios logo, the logo feature Calvin from Calvin the Squirrel in the red circle and writing the logo. FoxToons Studios logo appears in direct-to-video films, TV shows and specials.

This logo was seen after all films until 2007, when it was updated with the release of Charles and the Mouse 2 since 20th Century Fox Feature Animation was renamed into 20th Century Fox Animation. Designed by Simon Clark, the modernized logo. The opening begins after 20th Century Fox logo finish where a camera zooming out to reveal a structure, it reads "20th Century Fox Animation". It was first seen in front of Charles and the Mouse 2 and last seen in front of Susan 2.

When 20th Century Animation celebrated 50th Years in 2018, The logo begins with their animated films, including their feature animation department films, their original theatrical films, Blue Sky Studios films and other minor animated films that was distributed by 20th Century Fox was shown on their screens, zooming out and was little bit faster, after 3 seconds, an searchlight swopping left, revealing 20th Century Fox Animation 50th Years logo, underneath it, it reads "50th Years of Animation" It was first seen in front of Adventures of Pearlheart 2 and last seen in front of The Funny Sheep.

In August 2020, 20th Century Animation introduced a new animated logo. When Thomas Schumacher came to 20th Century Animation, one of the first goals set by Cree Slate was to make a new logo for the division. The crew originally wanted to put a male character in the logo because the studio’s team is mostly male, but it was later scrapped, The logo was animated in-house at 20th Century Animation's headquarters in Century City, along with Blur Studio and Sony Pictures Imageworks. This logo made its debut in front of Charles and the Mouse: When Squeaks Calls on October 2, 2020.

Process
Similar to Paramount Animation, Warner Animation Group and Sony Pictures Animation, the studio outsources animation production to other animation studios. Ron's Gone Wrong was developed outside of 20th Century Animation by Locksmith Animation, but the studio acquired the rights to the film and is co-producing it. Starting with The Master of the Defenders, each traditional-animated film will have a blend of 2D hand-drawn animated characters with Who Framed Roger Rabbit-styled lighting effects in a 3D computer-generated environment created by the filmmakers.

Unlike the feature animation department of 20th Century Animation, 20th Century Animation Los Angeles doesn't have an in-house animation style, although 20th Century Animation Hollywood handled animation for most film for Los Angeles studio. According to Thomas Schumacher and Jim Samples, each film will have their own unique style created by the filmmakers, which would be helped by outsourcing animation to different vendors.
