My thoughts on the shutdown of Blue Sky Studios · 3:48am Feb 12th, 2021
Honestly, I'm not at all surprised. Their films aren't even good in the first place. Nobody asked for unnecessary Ice Age and Rio sequels.
Majority of the films verge on funny and ridiculous which I'm really not a fan of. Them playing it safe by adhering to the "animation is for kids" ideology garnered their cash cow films with mixed/average critical reception.
That's what happens when money-driven corporations like them don't innovate. Goodbye and good riddance, I guess.
In all honesty, the only Blue Sky film I have in my library is Robots, though I did like the first two Ice Age films too.
Pretty good films but I guess it depends on the audience.
I think I heard from NC that they had a hand in the evolution of The M&M's
