Background

Locksmith Animation is a British animation studio founded by Julie Lockhart and Sarah Smith in 2014. Based in London, England, it bills itself as "the only high-end computer-animation studio in the UK making computer-animated family films". In April of that same year, visual effects/animation studio Double Negative formed a deal with the company where it will provide the computer animation for its films.

In May 2016, the company formed a production deal with Paramount Pictures to distribute their films to be produced under the Paramount Animation label; but this was abandoned the following year when Paramount's late chairman and CEO Brad Grey was replaced by Jim Gianopulos.

Shortly after Paramount's abandon, they formed a multi-year production deal with 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios) in September of that year, which would distribute their films under the 20th Century Fox Animation label, with the studio aiming to release a film every 12–18 months. In October 2019, a few months after Disney took over 20th's assets, the company formed a new multi-year production deal with Warner Bros. Pictures, which will distribute future films under their Warner Animation Group label after the release of Ron's Gone Wrong, which was now the only film to be distributed by 20th Century Studios. Although Locksmith debuted a logo in the same year they launched, it did not debut on-screen until 2021.

(2014-)


Nicknames: "The Keyhole", "Locksmith Keyhole"

Logo: We fade into a white screen, which then reveals itself to be a keyhole as it rotates and zooms out, going through a trail of blue striped keyholes. After a while, it fades into a dark blue background as the keyhole moves to the left, closing itself in a large blue keyhole which fades in. After that, the large white text "LOCKSMITH" (in the Domaine Text Regular font) with "ANIMATION" (in Futura Medium) spaced below it; both fade in, followed by a small text reading "A SISTER COMPANY" (with "SISTER" in its corporate font) aligned to the right.

Variant: A print version exists, sometimes seen in-credit.

FX/SFX: Nice CGI.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie, or in future cases, silence.

Availability: Common. This first debuted as an print logo sometime in 2014, and later made its first on-screen appearance in 2021 with Ron's Gone Wrong. It will appear on future films from the company.

Editor's Note: None.
