STX Animation, LLC, is an American animation studio and division of STX Entertainment to produce theatrical films, founded on March 18, 2027. The studio is based in Burbank, California, with offices in Greenwich, Connecticut, Toronto, Canada and Paris, France; the Paris branch was originally Method Animation.

History

In March 2027, STX Entertainment formed an animation division and a multi-year partnership with Paris, France-based animation studio Method Animation. In October 2027, STX Animation hired former DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg as head of animation. On November 19, 2027, it was reported that former Warner Animation Group executive Allison Abbate was in talks to lead the studio. Both films would be distributed by Amazon MGM Studios as part of their deal with STX Animation.

STX Animation signed on directors Dylan Brown (Wonder Park) to direct Toyland, Bibo Bergeron (The Road to El Dorado, Shark Tale and A Monster in Paris) to direct Enchanted, and Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch, How to Train Your Dragon, The Croods, The Call of the Wild and The Wild Robot) to write and direct Larrikins.

In February 2028, it was announced that Rob Letterman and Conrad Vernon would revive their long-dormant project Imaginary Enemies for STX Animation after it was originally set up at DreamWorks Animation during 2010s. In March 2028, Tim Johnson revealed that he had entered into an exclusive, multi-year overall deal with STX Animation.

STX formally acquired Method Animation and rebranded it as STX Animation Paris in April 2028.

In May 2028, Bill Damaschke, producer of Enchanted, was hired as head of production at STX Animation to oversee production planning for the studio's slate of films. The following month, longtime DreamWorks Animation director Chris Miller was announced to have joined STX Animation to develop and produce an original animated film for the studio. In June 2028, DNEG became an animation partner to STX Animation Paris on an upcoming film. On October 24, 2028, DNEG was revealed to be animating on Rob Letterman and Conrad Vernon's Imaginary Enemies.

On March 26, 2029, DNEG revealed that they would continue their collaboration with STX Animation, working with the studio to create the animation on Tim Johnson's Olivia in Wonderland. This includes Tusker, a new film directed by Rob Minkoff. On June 15, 2029, Alessandro Carloni revealed that he had entered into an exclusive, multi-year overall deal with STX Animation.

With the release of The Snowman in October 2028, STX Animation revealed their first logo. With the release of Toyland in March 2029, their full logo was released and shows the Snowman and James from The Snowman which are now the mascots of the studio launched from their snow (also from The Snowman) flying around to form the studio's logo with magic blue trail, the fanfare was composed by Jon Brion which was adopted from the theme of The Snowman. It was animated by their Paris branch, STX Animation Paris and their head of animation, Jeffrey Katzenberg.
