Fox Animation Studios was a short-lived traditional animation studio, a division of 20th Century Fox, headed by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman. The department was designed to compete with Walt Disney Feature Animation, which had phenomenal success in the early-1990s with the releases of Beauty and the Beast
, Aladdin
and The Lion King
.

The studio's output was not as successful as the Disney films were. Only one of its two theatrical releases, Anastasia, turned a profit. The other theatrical Fox Animation Studios production, Titan A.E.
, made only USD$9,376,845 in its opening weekend—on an estimated budget of $75,000,000—and the studio was shut down as a result.

The only other Fox Animation Studios production was Bartok the Magnificent, a direct-to-video sequel to Anastasia. The studio also did credited clean-up animation on DreamWorks' The Prince of Egypt
. Bluth and Goldman were considered to produce Ice Age as a traditionally animated feature, but passed on the script. Another direct-to-video movie, one of the company's more successful ventures, was the film Thumbelina
(based on the Hans Christian Andersen tale), an animated musical starring the well-known voice actor Jodi Benson.
