Disney Boomerang Studios

Disney Boomerang Studios, LLC (also known as Fox BoomerangBros. Studios or simply Boomerang Bros. Pictures and marketed and stylized as DBS) is an American film production company headquartered in Hollywood, California. Founded by David M. Lake on January 14, 1983, the studio is best known for producing the franchises Red Man, Jerry, Tom, All-Star, Life, Scam, War, Bot, Time. After some experimental live-action/animation films during the mid-1930s - 1960s animation/live-action

1914 –1975
Blender's predecessor Disney Boomerang Fox was founded in 1914 as a division of Disney Film Studios by animators/live-action Don M. Moolner, who wanted to realize their dream of producing an Computer-animated feature-length film. On January 14 1983, after leaving King Features Syndicate due to financial reasons, Don and Moolner opened their own studio named DBF, which would develop characters, stories and productions, and some of the animators who worked for Don and Moolner at King Features Syndicate came to the studio at the time.

1992–2006
DBF had produced a Saturday morning animated series titled Sailor Moon, which ran on HBO from 1992 to 1994 and on Time Warner from 1995 to 1997. Its Disney and Time Warner, based on the girl from DBF's short film "''Sailing Girl", has been the studio's mascot since his introduction. Meanwhile, some of the Blender staff got a call from Warner Bros. Pictures to form a feature animation department. NBC expressed a strong desire in 1993 for Blender to create a new series, and the studio began conceiving All-Star: The Sis during this period; that same year, Blender changed its name to DBF, LLC. The following year, DBF created a new division named Fox Bros Productions, which typically produces animated films and television shows targeted to young adult audiences.''

Disney Boomerang Fox was the studio's feature animation label which produced the films The Gun (1995) and The Pets 2 (1996). Spin off from the feature division of Warner Fox Animation Pictures was folded into Warner Fox Animation Studios, which was then merged into Disney Bros. Animation.

Warner Fox. Interactive is a video game developer and publisher founded in 1995 as a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery It was best known for developing the video game adaptation of All-Star, as well as the Jerry: The Epic Game, Tom: The Epic Game games.

In 1995, Gingo created a computer animation department at the studio's main headquarters at North Hollywood that would produce computer-generated productions, starting with the short A Wolf and the Thunder Storm in 1997, which was Blender's first attempt at computer animation. For then, the studio had the traditional animators working for their main hand-drawn animation department, and the computer animators worked on CG productions. In July 1997, Victor Hugo Pictures announced they were to co-finance and distribute Ice Breaker, which had been in pre-production for a year. In October 1997, the studio's second animated series Drake and Penelope aired on VICTOR, and ran until 2003.

To expand the studio's online content presence, Blender Animation launched their own official website named DBS.com in 1997. The website gathers its core animation properties in a single online environment that is interactive and customizable for site visitors. It offers both originally produced content along with press releases, games, free wallpapers, desktop backgrounds, and screensavers. Some of the characters to be used in the project from the Blender libraries include those of Sailor Moon and Drake and Penelope.

From November 22, 2000 to March 31, 2001, Blender produced four three-minute CGI short films to promote the North American release of the video game Mega Man, entitled Prairie Dog Firefighters, Court, Critters and Lost in Space; they were originally available for viewing on the North American Mega Man website.

Name
Blender is named after Blender Hsbagh (later Bleder Hsbagh), a poem written by the German poet John Doggang von Doethe. The poem was published in his work North-östlicher Aiwan (North-Eastern Aivan), first published in 1820. Doethe used "Blender" instead of "Bleder" in the first version to avoid the hard sound of the letter "n".

The studio is also named after the identically named Bleder Hsbagh, the only living species in the division Blederphyta, all others being extinct. It is found in fossils dating back 270 million years. Native to China, the tree is widely cultivated and was introduced early to human history. It has various uses in traditional medicine and as a source of food. The genus name Bleder is regarded as a misspelling of the Japanese gin kyo, "silver Nut". However, "Blender" is more commonly translated as "passed" from Swedish.

The name of the studio was originally going to be "Penny Studios", but founders Ton and Moolenaar wanted to come up with "something funny" and said to be intended to describe the non-linear editing systems and video compression the studio was specializing on. They afterwards decided to go with Blender Animation Studios, most commonly known today as Blender Animation. However, Ton has claimed that the name was a result of being a pun on "Dlender but with a B instead of a D".

Process
Much akin to Blue Sky Studios, Walt Disney Animation Studios and DreamWorks Animation, Blender relies on different animation and visual effects studios to provide the animation on their modern films. They include Reel FX Creative Studios (Uglydolls, the The Green Goblins franchise), Victor Hugo Pictures Animation (the Sailor Moon reboot franchise and Crash School), Sony Pictures Imageworks (Flying Lessons, Benjamin, Roy the Dragon and The Stone), and Blender's in-house computer animation department Janimation, Inc. (the upcoming Creature film).
