Paramount Animation is the animation division and label of mh:greatestmovies:Paramount Pictures, a subsidiary of Paramount Global. The division was founded on July 6, 2011, following the box office success of Paramount's own Rango and the end of their distribution deal with DreamWorks Animation in 2012.

The studio's first film The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water was released on February 6, 2015, and its latest release being Rumble on December 15, 2021, with their next release being Under the Boardwalk in 2022.

Similar to Warner Animation Group, Sony Pictures Animation and 20th Century Fox Animation (now a subsidiary of Disney), the studio outsources animation production to other animation studios. Films produced by Paramount Animation have grossed a total of $604.1 million at the box office. Its highest-grossing film to date is The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, which grossed $325.1 million.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) A lot of their movies use plots that are heavily cliched.
 * 2) The sixth movie from this studio Rumble is poorly adapted from its source material, Monster On A Hill. For example, it turned Tentacular from a kind old friend of Rayburn’s who was obsesssed with giving hugs to people to a self absorbed money obsessed wrestler who wants to tear down a stadium for no thoroughly explained reason other than the fact that he does not want to follow in Rayburn’s footsteps.
 * 3) Sometimes, their movies have concepts that are very interesting and have potential, yet in the end, gets sadly wasted by the poor execution. Take Wonder Park as an example for this. The film could've been a touching film about a little girl using her imagination to escape from the harshness of reality, but then decides to become a generic wacky comedy instead.
 * 4) *The reason for this is mainly due to the original director, Dylan Brown, being fired from the studio and the production as a whole in wake of sexual harassment allegations against him a year before the film’s release and somehow Paramount couldn't even find a replacement for Dylan, leaving the film without a director, causing the film to end up the way it did.
 * 5) Though rarely, they made some very bad sequels, with Sherlock Gnomes being the worst offender of this.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Their mascot, Star Skipper, is cute.
 * 2) In addition, the opening logo, animated by Reel FX, is amazing done.
 * 3) To be fair, there are reasonable and justified explanations as to why most of Paramount Animation’s films had such bad quality as they would often go through very troubled productions. The Wonder Park case was already mentioned in the bulletin point of BQ#3, meanwhile, Rumble was severely hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced many writers and animators to work from home and delayed the film’s release date multiple times and Monster Trucks was been delayed three times from the date originally scheduled for 2015, due to the massive recutting that the film suffered and also due to Creech was redesigned, because his original design was much worse, both caused by the negative reaction of children to the test screening of the film.
 * 4) Some of their movie releases are pretty decent, in which the examples include, mh:greatestmovies:The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (which is a good start for them), its sequel Sponge on the Run, The Little Prince and Anomalisa.
 * 5) They confirmed that they will be developing an animated musical Smurfs film, which sounded like a good idea on paper and has been done before, especially with The Smurfs and the Magic Flute.
