Rhythm & Hues Studios: /2002-Present: Feature Films

Blue Sky Studios shifted from visual effects work to feature film production in 2002 with the release of Ice Age, their first CGI animated film. Ice Age was a critical and commercial success, launching Blue Sky's first film franchise and establishing them as the third major computer animated film studio behind Pixar and DreamWorks Animation. Blue Sky later moved their headquarters from New York to Connecticut in 2009 as they continued producing animated feature films.

Due to the F/X market crash, Fox decided to leave the visual effects business. In March 1999,
they sold VIFX to another visual effects house, Rhythm & Hues Studios,[9] and considered
selling Blue Sky next. At the time, the studio got the opportunity with the Ice Age script to turn it
into a comedy. In 2002, Ice Age was released to great critical and commercial success. The film
got a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, and established Blue Sky as
the third studio, after Pixar and DreamWorks Animation, to launch a successful CGI franchise.[10]
In January 2009, the studio moved from White Plains, New York to Greenwich, Connecticut.[11]
In 2013, Chris Wedge took a leave of absence to direct Paramount Animation's liveaction/computer-animated film Monster Trucks.[1
