In case we can't prevent Blue Sky Studios from shutting down (though I still hope the 450 people will find new careers ASAP; still hoping for the 450 people & all their familes & friends), I've made a "Plan B" petition to ask Disney to keep the Rio franchise alive without Blue Sky, like with what Disney's already planning with Ice Age. 

After all, if Disney can keep the Ice Age franchise alive without Blue Sky (as its upcoming Ice Age projects are said to be done under Disney Television Animation), then I believe Disney can do the same with the Rio franchise; & I hope Disney does make such a move.

Here is the link to my "Plan B" petition to ask Disney to keep Rio alive without Blue Sky.
