Rhythm & Hues
Established by several former animators of pioneering CGI house MAGI/Synthavision in 1987, Rhythm & Hues was a animation and VFX company that specialized in, what else, computer graphics. Starting off in the world of commercials and station bumpers for clients like Sunbeam, Chrysler and United Artists. They would enter the world of film and TV visual effects in the 1990s, credits including Hocus Pocus, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the Babe films, Superman Returns, Night at the Museum and The Golden Compass.
They're also responsible for the VFX in all those creepy live-action cartoon adaptations that plagued the early and mid-2000s, including the Scooby-Doo, Garfield and Alvin and the Chipmunks films.
In 2012, the studio would declare bankruptcy after finishing their work on Life of Pi, which garnered no end of controversy when it was brought up at that year's Academy Awards ceremony. The studio would stick out a little longer thanks to the assistance of Prana Studios, but would shut down for good in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In relation to the franchise, the studio, along with TMS Entertainment and Charlex would provide animation and graphics for several of the late-stage G1 toy commercials, including the "I'M A TRANSFORMER" kidmation in the first Pretenders toy commercial, and the opening graphic used for the Action Masters commercials.
