Fox Entertainment acquires BobsBurgers animation house Bento Box
After the acquisition, Bento Box will operate as a stand-alone entity under the Fox Entertainment banner and produce content for all platforms. Its leadership team will remain in place, including co-founders Scott Greenberg and Joel Kuwahara , and senior executives Brett Coker , Ben Jones , Craig Hartin , Janelle Momary and Andi Raab .
“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.,” Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier said. “The Bento-Fox combination brings Fox front-door access to the next wave of the genre’s creative leaders, while still maintaining Bento Box’s focus on all that makes them a terrific partner for outside producers.
The Bento Box acquisition is part of Fox Entertainment’s strategy to build in-house capabilities after losing 20th TV. In February, the company launched SideCar, a content development accelerator headed by Gail Berman, to incubate scripted and unscripted programming for both Fox and third-party platforms.
