ATBW Animation Studios

ATBW Animation Studios was an animation department that was founded in 1986 to produce animated feature films and was used in tandem with Rigel Pictures from 2002 until 2009 when it was folded into Rigel Pictures. It was the animation studio that was part of ATBW Pictures before their acquisition of Rigel in 2002. It was responsible for producing ATBW Blog films of the 1990's which included Turbo Bull, Signature Deer, Brusky & Friends, Rose Gold Flamingo, etc..

During much of it's existence, it had also produced The Chester Cheetah Movie, Fender & Smiley (Movie), Lapis The Blue Hippopotamus, and many ATBW Blog animated films from the 1990's and 2000's, though some these ATBW Blog films were co-produced with Universal Cartoon Studios until the 2000's. In 2009, ATBW Animation Studios was folded into Rigel Pictures due to having a small audience and largely not being used after Rigel Pictures was acquired in 2002, though the studio still operates outside of North America, as Rigel Pictures only operates within North America.

The studio still produced films in Tandem with Rigel Pictures until it was hit hard by the Great Recession in 2008, which led to it's demise in 2009. Despite this however, it was eventually revived in 2010 but would serve as ATBW's animation studio outside of North America since they use Rigel Pictures to produce animated films within it, as Eric Langile IV pointed out that running both was unnecessary. In addition to the financial crisis, it's logo was also out of date, as it was changed in 1990 following the launch of ATBW Blog. The logo was largely based on the 1975 logo, which was the logo the company was using at the time following it's formation in 1986. The one in outer markets however uses the current ATBW logo.
