2BIG3k Animation, Inc. (or just simply 2BIG3k) is an American animation studio that produces animated feature films, television series, and short films. It was founded in 1999 by Gabriel Garcia, Marc Zimmermann, and Terry Ward and is owned by Glass Ball Productions and based in Los Angeles, California, US. The company had worked on several animated shorts, before releasing a total of seven feature films, including the franchises of The Geo Team Movie, Geoshea Theft Auto, and House in the Pop. At the time 2BIG3k was founded, the company concluded an agreement to co-produce and co-finance animated films with Universal Studios. The company and logo was named after the 2BIG3k F&L Labs from the Geo Team episode, Geo Guy and the Robot Cars.

History[]

The studio was founded by Gabriel Garcia, Marc Zimmermann, and Terry Ward in 1999 as part of Glass Ball Productions, and released its first animated short Lil' Pingoo: Pinguin on November 10, 1999, and later produced episodes of the animated television series The Geo Team since the ninth season in 1999. For its launch, 2BIG3k signed with Universal Studios an agreement to co-produce and co-finance animated films, starting with The Geo Team Movie in 2001, the first project produced for Universal. They also announced their other animated projects in development: House in the Pop, a 2009 CGI animated film adaptation of the 2000 video game Grand Theft Auto: Geoshea Edition, and a live-action/CGI animated film Primates.

On June 5, 2006, 2BIG3k partnered with Starz Animation (now known as Arc Productions), a Toronto-based animation production company that was also known for producing new episodes from Thomas and Friends since 2014, to co-produce and animate the CGI animated film Geoshea Theft Auto, which is already in pre-production. 2BIG3k had currently, but completely, finished working on Ico, a cancelled Geo Animation Studios project that was a little "too dark" for children, in 2015. 2BIG3k is currently working on other projects such as, a 2015 spin-off to 2001's The Geo Team Movie; a series finale film to the Kids WB 2004 animated TV series The Batman titled Dick Grayson; a 2016 animated sequel to the 2013 hit, The Geo Team Movie 2; a 2016 sequel to Geoshea Theft Auto 2; and a 2016 original animated film titled Ropz. On March 27, 2015, the company announced that they are working on 2 untitled original animated films, the first is set to be released on June 23, 2017, and the second will be released on February 1, 2019. It has many other projects in development, including The Computer Adventure, Click Go! and a live-action/computer-animated film Cilo.

The official actual company's motto is "We love to overtake you", as seen in Hot and Spicy. In 2001, the classic logo was replaced by a new logo, which was spoofed on the 20th Century Fox logo until 2012. In 2006, a newer logo featuring the classic logo from 1999 was made, and was debuted in 2BIG3k's YouTube channel. On October 3, 2012, the company announced that they would bring back the classic 1999 logo starting with The Geo Team Movie 2, which released on January 18, 2013. In 2014, Gabriel Garcia created and animated a newest and current logo using Vipid. The current logo was first seen in House in the Pop 2, which was released on August 15, 2014.
