Fox Corp. on Tuesday said it has acquired Bento Box Entertainment, the animation studio behind the popular sitcom “Bob’s Burgers.”
It is the first acquisition of an entertainment property for the slimmed-down Fox since controlling shareholder Rupert Murdoch, including the 20th Century Fox film and television studios, to Walt Disney Co. in March. The move demonstrates Fox’s desire to remain a leader in prime-time animation. The Fox network also broadcasts “The Simpsons” and “Family Guy.”
, based in North Hollywood, will operate as a stand-alone entity within Fox Entertainment, a division led by Charlie Collier, its chief executive, who announced the purchase.“As we grow Fox for the next generation, it only makes sense we would expand our animation capabilities by bringing on board the best in the business: Bento Box,” Collier said in a statement. “The Bento-Fox combination brings Fox front-door access to the next wave of the genre’s creative leaders.
“Duncanville” is a co-production of three TV studios: Fox Entertainment, Universal Television and Disney’s 20th Century Fox Television. Meanwhile, Fox and Disney will co-produce “The Great North.”
