20th Animation

20th Animation (formerly Fox Television Animation and 20th Television Animation) is an American animation studio that creates, develops and produces animated television series, specials and other projects primarily for the Fox Broadcasting Company. It is a division of Walt Disney Television and formerly through 20th Television.

History
The studio was established in 1999. Its first project was the continued production of Family Guy for its third season, which it took over from the series' previous home at Film Roman for seasons one and two. The studio would become the home of future animated series co-created by Seth MacFarlane: American Dad! and The Cleveland Show. In 2016, Fox Television Animation assumed production of The Simpsons, taking over from Film Roman. In September 2020, the animation company was renamed as 20th Television Animation as part of a merger requirement to drop the word "Fox" from the acquired assets to avoid brand confusion with Fox Corporation. Less than three months following this change, in December 2020, it was renamed, shortened to 20th Animation.

Most animated projects from 20th Animation are subcontracted to third party animation production companies such as Film Roman, Titmouse, Inc., Bento Box Entertainment and Rough Draft Studios, but the company maintains 20th Animation as an in-house option. Because the company acts as a production house for hire, it is not treated as a labeled division of 20th Century Studios like Touchstone Television or Searchlight Pictures. The studio specializes in animation pre-production and post-production, while the actual animation production is handled by studios in South Korea. 20th Animation's frequent contractors include Digital eMation, Yearim Productions, AKOM Production, and Rough Draft Korea.

The studio maintains a location in the Miracle Mile neighborhood of Los Angeles Its workers are represented by The Animation Guild, I.A.T.S.E. Local 839.
