Columbia Pictures Animation is a division of Columbia Pictures Entertainment, founded in 1978, which produces computer-animated films.
Digital animation for their films is made by Columbia Pictures Imageworks. Columbia Pictures Animation was created due to the success of ImageWorks' short animated film The Chubbchubbs and Columbia Torch Lady's Travel Time Adventure.
Their first feature film Open Season, was released on September 29, 2006. They have also announced their next film, called Surf's Up. For the future of Columbia Pictures Animation they have planned Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and Hotel Transylvania. The CPA logo seen at the beginning of their films features original music composed by James Newton Howard. Open Season 2 and Sony Pictures 2 may also be a possibility if the first one does well enough.
