The company filed for [[Chapter 11, Title 11, United States Code|Chapter 11]] bankruptcy in early 2013. It was then purchased by an affiliate of [[Prana Studios]], 34x118 Holdings, LLC, but retained the same name.

==History==
===1987–2008===
Rhythm & Hues Studios was established in [[Los Angeles]], [[California]] in [[1987 in film|1987]] by former employees of [[Robert Abel and Associates]] (John Hughes, Pauline Ts'o, Keith Goldfarb, Cliff Boule, Frank Wuts and [[Charles Gibson (special effects artist)|Charles Gibson]]).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-BANKB-18612|title=Rhythm & Hues Looks to Finish 'Seventh Son'|first=Katy|last=Stech|date=21 February 2013|access-date=4 April 2022|website=Wsj.com}}</ref> The company used its own proprietary software for its photo-realistic character animation/visual effects—as well as for those that are more stylized.

In 1998, Rhythm & Hues Studios developed a video game titled [[Eggs of Steel: Charlie's Eggcellent Adventure]] for the [[PlayStation]].

In 1999, Rhythm & Hues Studios acquired visual effects house VIFX from [[20th Century Fox]].<ref>{{cite news | author=The Hollywood Reporter | url=http://business.highbeam.com/2012/article-1G1-54103581/rhythm-hues-rounds-up-vifx | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151107003622/http://business.highbeam.com/2012/article-1G1-54103581/rhythm-hues-rounds-up-vifx | url-status=dead | archive-date=2015-11-07 | title=Rhythm & Hues Rounds Up Vifx | publisher=[[AllBusiness.com]] | date=1999-03-03 | access-date=2010-12-14}}</ref>

===2009–2013===
Director [[Ang Lee]] approached Rhythm & Hues in August 2009 to discuss a planned film adaptation of the fantasy novel ''[[Life of Pi]]''.<ref name=magic>[http://graphics.latimes.com/storyboard-life-pi/?fb_comment_id=fbc_284814658308730_1265197_285327338257462#fca73fa8 'Life of Pi's' digital magic].

This was really for me one of the most rewarding things I've worked on and the first chance to really combine art with VFX. Every shot was artistic exploration, to make the ocean a character and make it interesting we had to strive to make it as visually stunning as possible."<ref name=r&h3>[http://www.fxguide.com/featured/life-of-pi/ "Life of Pi: a tiger's tale"], ''[[Fxguide]]'', November 26, 2012</ref>

By 2012, the company had become a global one, with offices and artists in [[India]] (the [[Mumbai]] suburb of [[Malad]] and [[HITEC City]] which is a part of [[Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh|Hyderabad]]), [[Malaysia]] ([[Cyberjaya]] just outside [[Kuala Lumpur]]), [[Canada]] ([[Vancouver]]), and [[Taiwan]] ([[Kaohsiung]]).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.animationxpress.com/animation/a-glimpse-of-rhythm-hues-asian-facilities-work-on-ang-lees-masterpiece-life-of-pi/|title=A glimpse of Rhythm & Hues (Asian Facilities) work on Ang Lee's masterpiece 'Life of Pi'|website=Animationxpress.com|date=2 January 2013|access-date=4 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://3dtutorials.net/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130609110654/http://www.cgtantra.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=671&Itemid=40|url-status=dead|title=Free 3D tutorials for Blender, Maya, ZBrush, Cinema 4D for CG Artists|date=9 April 2021|archive-date=9 June 2013|access-date=4 April 2022}}</ref><ref name="r&h4">[http://www.awn.com/news/technology/rhythm-hues-taps-nvidia-life-pi Rhythm & Hues Taps NVIDIA Technology for Life of Pi].

Rhythm & Hues spent a year on [[research and development]], "building upon its already vast knowledge of CGI animation" to develop the tiger.<ref name="var">[https://www.variety.com/article/VR1118063581?refcatid=13 Vfx team dares to take tiger by the tail]. ''[[Variety (magazine)]]'', December 15, 2012</ref> Artist Abdul Rahman in the Malaysian branch underscored the global nature of the effects process, saying that "the special thing about ''Life of Pi'' is that it was the first time we did something called remote rendering, where we engaged our cloud infrastructure in Taiwan called CAVE (Cloud Animation and Visual Effects)".<ref name="r&h2">[http://www.nst.com.my/life-times/tech/local-touch-to-life-of-pi-1.176645 "Local touch to Life Of Pi"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130402173620/http://www.nst.com.my/life-times/tech/local-touch-to-life-of-pi-1.176645 |date=2013-04-02 }}, ''[[New Straits Times]]'', November 26, 2012</ref>

The resulting film, ''[[Life of Pi (film)|Life of Pi]]'', was released in theaters in November 2012, and was a critical and commercial success. The [[British Film Institute]]'s ''[[Sight & Sound]]'' magazine suggested that, "''Life of Pi'' can be seen as the film Rhythm & Hues has been building up to all these years, by taking things they learned from each production from ''Cats & Dogs'' to ''Yogi Bear'', integrating their animals in different situations and environments, pushing them to do more, and understanding how all of this can succeed both visually and dramatically."<ref name=BFI>[http://www.bfi.org.uk/news-opinion/sight-sound-magazine/features/video-essay-animal-menagerie-rhythm-hues Video essay: The animal menagerie of Rhythm and Hues]".

On February 11, 2013, Rhythm & Hues Studios filed for bankruptcy under [[Chapter 11, Title 11, United States Code|Chapter 11]], three months after ''Life of Pi'' was released.<ref>{{cite news | author=Variety | url=https://www.variety.com/article/VR1118066108/ | title=Rhythm & Hues bankruptcy reveals vfx biz crisis | work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] | date=2013-02-12 | access-date=2013-02-13}}</ref> Around 254 people were laid off at that time.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/2013/digital/news/rhythm-hues-gets-17-mil-loan-from-universal-fox-1118066262/|title=Rhythm & Hues gets $17 mil loan from Universal, Fox|first=Ted|last=Johnson|website=Variety.com|date=15 February 2013|access-date=4 April 2022}}</ref> This led to a demonstration of nearly 500 VFX artists who protested outside of the 2013 Academy Awards, as Rhythm & Hues was nominated for an Oscar (which it won) for ''Life of Pi''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.fxguide.com/quicktakes/visualeffectsprotestatoscars/|title=VFX protest at Oscars: images from the picket line + audio interview|website=Fxguide.com|date=22 February 2013|access-date=4 April 2022}}</ref> Inside, during the Oscars, when R&H visual effects supervisor [[Bill Westenhofer]] brought up R&H during his acceptance speech for ''Life of Pi'', the microphone was cut off as the music of ''Jaws'' slowly took over.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://blog.sfgate.com/thebigevent/2013/02/25/biggest-oscars-snub-a-shark-attack-on-the-vfx-industry/ | work=The San Francisco Chronicle | title=Biggest Oscars snub: A shark attack on the VFX industry}}</ref> This started an uproar among many visual effects industry professionals, changing profile pictures on social media such as Facebook and Twitter to show the [[Chroma key|green key color]], in order to raise awareness of general negative trends in the effects industry.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hitfix.com/motion-captured/the-visual-effects-community-sees-red-in-the-wake-of-oscar-protest-and-on-air-snub/2 |title=Entertainment – UPROXX |access-date=4 April 2022 |archive-date=17 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131017185232/http://www.hitfix.com/motion-captured/the-visual-effects-community-sees-red-in-the-wake-of-oscar-protest-and-on-air-snub/2 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In addition, director [[Ang Lee]] was heavily criticized by the community for not acknowledging their work in the effects-laden film in his acceptance speech, despite thanking many other people,<ref name=guard>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/feb/26/ang-lee-visual-effects-life-of-pi|title=Ang Lee under fire from visual effects artists over Life of Pi speech|newspaper=[[The Guardian]]| location=London|first=Andrew|last=Pulver|date=February 26, 2013}}</ref> and for earlier having complained about the costs of visual effects.<ref name=guard/><ref name=HR>{{cite news|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/oscars-2013-vfx-artists-blast-424304|title=Oscars 2013: VFX Artists Blast 'Disgraceful' TV Moments|publisher=The Hollywood Reporter | first=Carolyn|last=Giardina}}</ref>
