Netflix plans to acquire the animation studio Animal Logic, which is known for making hits like Happy Feet <\/em>and The Lego Movie<\/em>, the streaming company announced on Tuesday alongside its Q2 2022 earnings. <\/p>\n

\u201cToday, we announced that we will be acquiring leading animation studio Animal Logic, with ~800 amazing people mostly in Sydney and Vancouver, which will help us accelerate the development of our animation production capabilities and reinforces our commitment to build a world-class animation studio,\u201d Netflix wrote in its Q2 2022 shareholder letter (pdf<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The two companies are already partnering on The Magician\u2019s Elephant<\/em> (set for a 2023 release) and Ron Howard\u2019s first animated film, The Shrinking of Treehorn<\/em><\/a>. The acquisition is expected to close this year, according to a press release<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Netflix has continued to build out its animated programming, including a recently announced series based on the Exploding Kittens <\/em>card game<\/a> that\u2019s set for next year. But in May, it also laid off 70 part-time jobs in its animation studio and dropped some animated projects, Variety<\/em> reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Animal Logic has worked on all of the Lego Movie<\/em> feature films, including The<\/em> Lego Batman Movie<\/em> and The Lego Ninjago Movie.<\/em><\/p>\n
