Once upon a time, there was a little studio called MAGI/Synthavision. In 1987, having completed some of the effects on the ground-breaking {{Disney}} film ''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. They produced some effects for live-action films like ''Film/JoesApartment'', ''Film/FightClub'' and ''Film/AlienResurrection'', along with their first short film ''Bunny'', which Wedge directed. In the wake of the CG cartoon movement ({{Pixar}} had released ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'' a year before ''Bunny'' was awarded Best Animated Short in the Oscars), the studio just happened to be bought by TwentiethCenturyFox to help fish them out of their failing 2-D feature animation unit. And the rest is [[WesternAnimation/IceAge prehistory]].

Now, the success of their future productions will be complicated in 2013 onward to a degree with rival Creator/DreamWorksAnimation joining TwentiethCenturyFox as its distributor as well, which will require a careful balancing of release dates and promotion efforts.

Not to be confused with the [[Fanfic/BlueSky Portal fanfiction of the same name]]. Also no relation to Blue Sky Software, the team who made, among many other things, the ''{{Vectorman}}'' series.

And the rest is [[IceAge prehistory]].

''IceAge'' (2002) 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 since. It also helped boost the morale in the pretty dismal Northeastern animation circle- they are the ''only feature animation studio in the Northeast'', having used to be located in White Plains, New York before moving under a mile across the state border into Greenwich, Connecticut [[MoneyDearBoy for the tax breaks.]] They are notable for being one of the first studios to use raytrace rendering in feature films. They are also known for using more naturalistic lighting design than other studios, depending completely on sculpture maquettes to create the 3D forms of their characters, and utilizing cartoon squash-and-stretch more frequently in their later features. Chris Wedge directed their first films, and continues to executive produce their later ones.

* PluckyComicRelief: At least one in every film they've done so far. [[IceAge Scrat's]] practically the studio mascot.

* CashCowFranchise: ''IceAge'' was the breakout hit that helped keep the relatively young studio afloat, mostly through a very lucrative foreign market.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Epic}}'' (2013), based on WilliamJoyce's children's book ''The Leaf Men And The Brave Good Bugs''

* ''The Story of Ferdinand'', based on the children's book ''Literature/TheStoryOfFerdinand''.
