What made 'Ice Age' work is that it had its shiny candy coatings, but inside was a soft, creamy center.

It's very soft, and it's all a little shiny,

Fox came to us with the concept for ICE AGE and they came to us with the first draft of the script. They also gave us a mandate to make it into a comedy from what was previously a rather dramatic action concept.

Candy is my fuel. Ice cream, too.

We had no idea what we were in for when we started Blue Sky. We just had an idea of what we wanted to do. When we got to a point where it seemed impossible, we just kept doing it. After 18 years, we have a lot of it done.

In the future, it will be a vibrant village center where people will live, work and play.
