BlueArc Animation Studios is a Chinese animation production company.

History

It was founded in 2003 by Tommy Wang.
On June 4, 2007, Guangzhou Blue Arc Culture Communication Co., Ltd. was established, with "BlueArc" as its official abbreviation.
In 2009, BlueArc and Xingjie Toys released RoboWarriors: Adventures of Lolo, which became a famous work for BlueArc, but due to the competition between BlueArc and Xingjie for the dominance of the RoboWarriors series, the cooperation between the two parties broke down, and the dominance of the RoboWarriors series belonged to Xingjie Toys.
In 2010, BlueArc accepted the investment of HiWay Capital, and cooperated with Alpha Animation to launch the Fruity Robo series, which became a new series after RoboWarriors
In 2012, Aofei Animation bought BlueArc, during which the series RevEvolution was released, which was the peak period of BlueArc.
On June 17, 2014, Enlight Media bought BlueArc.
On December 14, 2016, Enlight Media transferred all the shares held by Blue Arc Culture, and Tommy Wang became the largest shareholder again.

On June 17, 2014, Enlight Media announced that it planned to acquire a 50.8% stake in BlueArc for about 200 million yuan. Due to BlueArc's continuous losses at this time, fans and investors were worried.
On December 14, 2016, Enlight transferred all the shares of BlueArc Culture held by it for 240 million yuan. The founder Wang Wei became the largest shareholder with 40% of the shares. Many people suspect that this is related to the box office disaster of the film "Fruit Escape" produced in 2016, so that Tommy Wang finally spent a lot of money to buy back the shares from Enlight.
