Process
In a similar manner to 20th Century Animation, Sony Pictures Animation, Warner Animation Group, Frenzy Animation and Paramount Animation, MGM Animation Studios outsources their feature films to other animation studios.

On March 18, 2022, the same day Amazon completed its acquisition of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (parent company of MGM Holdings), MGM Animation Studios announced they would open its in-house studio in Montreal, Canada. They would provide additional animation services for Detective Carl Returns (mainly animated by Moving Picture Company), Upside Mystery Legacy (mainly animated by Cinesite) and James Bond: Licence Renewed (mainly animated by DNEG Animation).
