Animal Logic is an Australian digital visual effects company based at Fox Studios in Sydney, Australia and Santa Monica, California. Established in 1991, Animal Logic's core business has traditionally been the design and production of high-end visual effects for commercials and television programs, although Animal Logic has also worked on various design projects for clients such as Cartoon Network and Spicks and Specks.
In recent years, however, the company has produced visual effects for many large budget film projects, including Moulin Rouge!, The Matrix trilogy, Babe: Pig in the City, Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Planet of the Apes, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, World Trade Center, Fool's Gold, 300, Knowing, Untamed and Uncut and Australia.
In 2002, Animal Logic began work on its first computer-animated feature film, the Academy Award-winning Happy Feet, for director George Miller. Released in the United States on 17 November 2006, the project has seen the company expand significantly, recruiting up to 300 artists and technicians from Australia and around the world. Their most recent full length animation, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole, was released on 24 September 2010, to mixed reviews.
In 2004, Animal Logic developed and designed a on-air identity for Cartoon Network.
Their video clip of the 2006 Telemetry Orchestra single "Under the Cherry Tree" won an award in early 2007 in New York.[1]
In November 2009, Animal Logic ranked number 447 in the Top500 ranking of super-computer sites.[2]
