Reel FX (also known as Reel FX Creative Studios for theatrical animated feature films) is an American digital studio based in Dallas, Texas, Hollywood, California and Montreal. The studio develops and produces award-winning animated films, short form and theme park content.[3] Its first original animated feature film, Free Birds/ Relativity Media, was released in 2013 and grossed over $110 million worldwide. Its next film, The Book of Life/ 20th Century Fox was also released in 2014 and received several nominations, including Best Animated Feature Nominations from the Golden Globe's, Critics’ Choice Awards, Producers Guild Awards and Annie Awards.[4] Monster on the Hill is the 3rd original film from Reel FX in conjunction with Paramount Animation and is slated to be released in 2020.
The studio also produces films for studio partners including: Ugly Dolls/ STX, and S.C.O.O.B./ WB and more.
History
In March 2007, Reel FX merged with Radium, a California-based digital studio that was founded in 1996 by Jonathan Keeton and Simon Mowbray.[5] As part of the merge, the studio re-branded itself in 2010 to Radium/Reel FX, and in February 2012 to Reel FX.[6] Since 2007, Reel FX has been presenting the Texas Avery Animation Award, created by the studio to "celebrate career achievement in animation".[7][8] The award, which is named after the Texas-born animator and cartoonist Tex Avery, is awarded each year at Dallas International Film Festival in a form of a bronze casting of Avery's Wolf character.[7]
On December 2010, it was announced that Reel FX produced an untitled 3D film with producer Andrew Adamson and Cirque du Soleil.[9] In January 2012, it was announced by Paramount Pictures that it had acquired worldwide rights to the film, now titled Worlds Away directed by Adamson and executive-produced by James Cameron.[10] In October 2012, The Hollywood Reporter revealed Reel FX's connection to the 2012 feature film, Rise of the Guardians. The film is based on Reel FX's short film, The Man in the Moon, directed by William Joyce and Brandon Oldenburg. It is also based on Joyce's book series, The Guardians of Childhood.[11]

From 2009 to 2013, Reel FX completed its first animated feature film Free Birds.[13] Originally titled Turkeys[14] and scheduled for the release of 2014, but it was pulled back to November 1, 2013.[13] Jimmy Hayward directed the film, which tells a story about two turkeys who travel back in time to prevent their species from being the traditional Thanksgiving meal.[13] In February 2012, the studio announced a new CG-animated film, The Book of Life, directed by Jorge R. Gutierrez and produced by Guillermo del Toro. It is described as a "Romeo and Juliet-style love story set against a Mexican Day of the Dead backdrop."[15] In December 2012, it was reported that the studio has partnered with 20th Century Fox Animation to produce the film,[16] and scheduled for October 3, 2014, but it was pushed back to October 17.[17] Monster on the Hill is their upcoming film, slated for a 2020 release.
