- Greenuts is a 1993 Irish-American computer-animated comedy film based on the original 1990 short film of the same name, produced by Geo Animation Studios and distributed by Paramount Pictures. Directed by Jake Sharratt, Greenuts was the first feature-length computer-animated film and the first theatrical film produced by Geo Animation Studios. It was animated by the Canadian animation studio Lix FX, which has been later acquired by Geo Animation Studios. The film features the voices of David Spade, Neil Patrick Harris, John Cleese, Jodi Benson, Seth Green, Christopher Lee, Max Casella and Sharratt as BallCone. Greenuts originated in a poem written by Jake Sharratt in 1984, before the founding of Geo Animation Studios, when he thought about making a computer animated short film based on the prom. However, Chris Jones convinced him to make a film based on the short film in 1990, the time Geo Animation Studios was founded, and the film was put quickly into active development by Sharratt after the rights were bought by the studio in April 14, 1991. The film was released in theaters on November 12, 1993 in the United States and Canada and on December 8, 1993 in the United Kingdom. The film was re-released in 3D on June 8, 2013. The film was met with universal acclaim, and grossed over $383 million worldwide, against a budget of $59 million. Greenuts was followed by three sequels, Greenuts 2 in 1997, Greenuts 3: Shape Revolution in 2000, and Greenuts: A New Beginning in 2015, with a fourth sequel, Greenuts: The New Groove, slated for a 2018 release.
