The animated movie would have followed a young shape-shifter named Nimona who teams up with the mad scientist Lord Ballister Blackheart to expose the ruler of the kingdom. With Blue Sky Studios folding, production on their next big movie, Nimona, has been shelved indefinitely. Co-Presidents Rob Baird and Andrew Millstein are both expected to exit in the wake of the news. The Blue Sky library and IP will also remain under Disney's control, as there are no plans for any other major studios to acquire Blue Sky's employees and operations. Disney will reportedly work with the employees to explore open positions at other Disney-owned studios. Around 450 employees at Blue Sky Studios will be affected by the shuttering of the company.
