Animation Studios Challenge – The Companies Behind Cartoons

Animation studios range from giant Hollywood companies to small independent teams. Each develops its own style, storytelling approach and characters, and studio rivalries have pushed the art forward.

Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank and Pixar in Emeryville lead Disney's animation. DreamWorks, co-founded by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen, made Shrek, and Illumination created the hugely profitable Minions. Blue Sky made Ice Age before closing in 2021.

Sony Pictures Animation broke new ground with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Beyond Hollywood, Studio Ghibli and Toei Animation lead in Japan, Aardman makes stop-motion in Bristol, Laika works in Oregon and Ireland's Cartoon Saloon creates hand-drawn films like Wolfwalkers.
