Last April, Apple and Skydance Animation announced a partnership whose first result was the arrival of Blush, an animated short film directed by Joe Mateo, on Apple TV+. Now, according to deadlinethe animation company won the rights to do ‘Ray Gunn’which we understand will also be released on Apple’s streaming platform.
A mini animation studio for Apple TV+ in the purest Pixar style
‘Ray Gunn’ will be directed by Brad Bird, with such well-known films as The Iron Giant, Ratatouille or The Incredibles and The Incredibles 2, Pixar’s highest-grossing film with over $1,245 million in box office receipts. On this occasion the director will work for Skydance Animationmeaning it will work closely with Apple.
Keep in mind that Skydance Animation is run by none other than John Lasseter, the boss of Disney Pixar until 2018
Beyond specific movements, short films and some original content, the truth is that thanks to the alliance between Apple and Skydance Animation, the Cupertino company creates his own animation studio
Overall, the Apple TV+ catalog is growing rapidly. Friday yes Friday too there is new content available to watch, and now thanks to Skydance we can see more anime content in the catalog. A most interesting decision for Apple which ensures high-level exclusivities.
