Ice Age was the film that made Blue Sky Studios a major competitor in the animated feature film industry, and they released around one new animated film every two years over the next decade-and-a-half. In the wake of the CG cartoon movement ( Pixar had released A Bug's Life a year before Bunny was awarded Best Animated Short in the Oscars), the studio just happened to be bought by Twentieth Century Fox to help fish them out of their failing 2-D feature animation unit. They produced some effects for live-action films like Joe's Apartment, Fight Club and Alien: Resurrection, along with their first short film Bunny, which Wedge directed. In 1987, having completed some of the effects on the ground-breaking Disney film TRON and some CG animation for commercials, an employee named Chris Wedge gathered a bunch of his co-workers and formed a studio of his own. Once upon a time, there was a little Elmsford, New York-based studio called MAGI/Synthavision.
