Amblimation

1989 – 1997 USA 3 cartoons

Founded by Steven Spielberg to be the production wing of his Amblin Entertainment production company.

The studio was spun down with Spielberg's change in focus to DreamWorks SKG (later, DreamWorks Animation). In the transition, many of the animators at Amblimation moved across to the new studio. One final film in development at Amblimation- an animated adaption of Andrew Lloyd Webbers' musical Cats- was not so lucky, and never made it to the light of day.
