99 | ---- |
100 | !!Tropes associated with their works: |
101 | * AllCGICartoon: Exceptions to the trope are ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesInAnAdventureWithScientists'', its television series and some shorts. |
102 | * CashCowFranchise: ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania'' got four films (the first three were released theatrically[[note]]''WesternAnimation/OpenSeason'' got three sequels DirectToVideo, ''WesternAnimation/SurfsUp'' also got a DTV sequel, while the third ''Smurfs'' film was a ContinuityReboot, so the latter sort of counts too[[/note]], while the fourth was released on Creator/PrimeVideo due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic), three shorts, [[WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvaniaTheSeries a television series]] and several video games. |
103 | * ChannelHop: The UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic led to SPA's entire planned 2021 slate being shifted from Creator/ColumbiaPictures to streaming outlets like Creator/{{Netflix}} (''WesternAnimation/TheMitchellsVsTheMachines'', ''WesternAnimation/WishDragon'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Vivo}}'') and Creator/PrimeVideo (''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvaniaTransformania''). |
104 | * DenserAndWackier: The studio is known for having a heavy emphasis on off-beat humor and physical comedy more in contrast to their contemporaries. ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' is the exception. |
105 | * DerangedAnimation: Many of their projects, such as the ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'' and ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania'' films, have been known to push the boundaries when it comes to physical comedy, especially when compared to other major animation studios. |
106 | * InternationalCoproduction: ''WesternAnimation/ArthurChristmas'' and ''The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!'' were made with the British-based Creator/AardmanAnimations and ''Wish Dragon'' is also produced with China's Base Animation, while ''Film/Goosebumps2015'' and ''WesternAnimation/SmurfsTheLostVillage'' were funded by Village Roadshow Pictures and Wanda Pictures respectively. Also, the ''WesternAnimation/{{Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs|2017}}'' TV series, ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvaniaTheSeries'', and ''Open Season: Call of Nature'' were primarly done in Canada. |
107 | * MediumBlending: ''The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol'' and ''The Smurfs: Legend of Smurfy Hollow'' utilizes CGI and hand-drawn animation. |
108 | * ProductionPosse: Creator/SonyPicturesImageworks animates most of their films. |
109 | * RecycledTheSeries: So far, only ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'', ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania'', and ''WesternAnimation/OpenSeason'' have received this treatment. |
110 | * UnexpectedlyDarkEpisode: ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', while not without its humorous moments, is more serious and emotional than their previous films. |
