Hey everyone!!

Today’s the day — March 18, 2026 — and Josh D’Amaro just became the new CEO of Disney! I saw the news this morning and got so hyped because this feels like our real shot. He’s been with Disney 28 years, ran the parks like a boss, and now he’s in charge of everything.

I’ve loved Blue Sky since I was a kid — Ice Age got me through so many rough days, and Rio always makes me laugh no matter what. Shutting the studio down in 2021 still hurts. We could have new movies, bring back Scrat and the gang, and create hundreds of animation jobs again.

We’re at 109 signatures right now (thank you to every single one of you!!). The goal is 200, then 500, then 1,000+. Petitions that hit those numbers actually get noticed.

If you’re reading this, please sign real quick and share with one friend who loved Ice Age or Rio. Drop your favorite Blue Sky memory in the comments — mine’s Scrat chasing that acorn for 20 years straight 😂

Let’s make some noise while the new boss is just starting!
