20th Century Studios (formerly 20th Century Fox) is a American film studio founded in 1935 that has been a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company since 2019.
The Croods was the first DreamWorks Animation film to be distributed by 20th Century Fox after the departure of Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox subsidiary of News Corporation with the founder Rupert Murdoch. A total of ten DreamWorks Animation films were distributed by this company from 2013 to 2017 beginning with The Croods and ending with Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie.
