## Similar to the other studios

Similar to Paramount Animation, Netflix Animation and Sony Pictures Animation, the Warner Animation Group outsources their computer-animated films' production to other studios. Such as Animal Logic (*The Lego Movie* franchise, *DC League of Super-Pets and Toto*), Sony Pictures Imageworks (*Storks* and *Smallfoot*), Reel FX Creative Studios (*Scoob!*), Framestore (*Tom & Jerry*), Industrial Light & Magic (*Space Jam: A New Legacy*), DNEG Animation (*Teen Titans Go!: Opposite Gender Madness'**The Cat in the Hat*** **and *Coyote vs. Acme*), Cinesite (*Hitpig*) and Mikros Animation (*Teen Titans Go!: Opposite Gender Madness*). However, *Space Jam: A New Legacy* did also include hand-drawn animation, which is outsourced from Company 3 Animation, and Tonic DNA.**

In a similar fashion to Sony Pictures Animation and DreamWorks Animation, Illumination does not produce its films in-house where it is based in Santa Monica, but rather outsources the animation production of its films to other studios. Most of its films are animated by Illumination Studios Paris, a subsidiary formed through the purchase of Mac Guff.

However, the animation production of 20th Century Animation's films is outsourced to other studios. For example, *The Simpsons Movie* was animated at Film Roman alongside AKOM and Rough Draft Studios, while *Ron's Gone Wrong* was animated by DNEG. *The Book of Life* was developed outside of 20th Century Animation at Reel FX, with the studio co-producing the film later on. *Diary of a Wimpy Kid* and *The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild* were animated by Bardel Entertainment.

Additionally, DreamWorks occasionally outsources its animation production to other studios. For example, *Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie* was animated by Mikros Image alongside Technicolor Animation Productions and *Spirit Untamed* and production assets for *The Boss Baby: Family Business* and *The Bad Guys* were provided by Jellyfish Pictures who also did the marketing custom animation for *Trolls World Tour* alongside Minimo VFX who provided rigging for *Spirit Untamed*.

In a similar fashion to the Warner Animation Group and Paramount Animation, the studio outsources their films to other animation companies and visual effects studios, with the majority of their films being animated by Sony Pictures Imageworks (its sister company). Some films, such as *Arthur Christmas* and *The Pirates! Band of Misfits* were acquired by Sony Pictures Animation to be released under their banner while others, such as *Goosebumps* and *Peter Rabbit*, were made with no involvement from the studio.

Similar to Warner Animation Group and Sony Pictures Animation, Paramount Animation outsources its animation production to other animation studios such as Mikros Image and Reel FX. *Rumble* was developed outside of Paramount Animation by Reel FX, but the studio acquired the rights to the film and co-produced it.
