Carlos Saldanha ({{IPA|pt|ˈkaʁluz sawˈdɐɲɐ}}; born 24 January 1965) is a Brazilian animator, director, producer, and voice actor of animated films who worked with Blue Sky Studios until its closure in 2021. He was the director of Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006), Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009), Rio (2011), Rio 2 (2014), Ferdinand (2017), and Harold and the Purple Crayon (2024), and the co-director of Ice Age (2002) and Robots (2005). Saldanha was nominated in 2003 for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film for Gone Nutty and in 2018 for Best Animated Feature for Ferdinand.

Early life

Saldanha was born in Brazil, growing up in Marechal Hermes, Rio de Janeiro."What's in Store". Visual Arts Journal. Fall 2011. School of Visual Arts. Page 18{{cite news|last=Baldassari|first=Arlene|title=The Road from Rio|url=http://hudsonreporter.com/bookmark/21262352-The-Road-from-Rio-br-font-size-2-i-From-the-Marvelous-City-to-the-Mile-Square-City-font-i-br-|access-date=October 28, 2013|newspaper=Hudson Reporter|date=December 30, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160817013547/http://hudsonreporter.com/bookmark/21262352-The-Road-from-Rio-br-font-size-2-i-From-the-Marvelous-City-to-the-Mile-Square-City-font-i-br-|archive-date=August 17, 2016|url-status=dead}} Though he loved cartoons and drawing from an early age, by the time he was an adult, he initially considered a career in computer science, because he did not think a career in art was a viable option. This changed when he became aware of how computer-generated imaging was revolutionizing animation, and discovered the continuing education program at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. He entered that program to major in computer animation, saying, "I knew from the first day in class that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life". One of his instructors, recognizing his talent, convinced him to enroll in the school's MFA program. Though Saldanha and his wife, Isabella Scarpa, thought this was a risk, they opted to stay in Manhattan so that Saldanha could do so. While at SVA, he completed two prizewinning film shorts that were featured in film festivals around the world. It was also at SVA that Saldanha met MFA instructor and future film directing partner Chris Wedge, who invited Saldanha to join Wedge's company Blue Sky Studios.{{cite news|last=Hulett|first=Steve|title=The Carlos Saldanha Interview|url=http://animationguildblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/carlos-saldanha-interview.html|access-date=February 9, 2012|newspaper=TAG Blog|date=January 9, 2012|archive-date=January 20, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120120100612/http://animationguildblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/carlos-saldanha-interview.html|url-status=live}} Saldanha graduated from SVA with a master's degree in Computer Art in 1993.

Career

During its fledgling years, Blue Sky Studios provided special effects and produced animated TV commercials. In 2002, Saldanha and Wedge co-directed the animated feature 2002 film Ice Age. The movie was a success, with an opening weekend gross of $46.3 million, the best March opening ever. After co-directing the 2005 animated film Robots, he broke his previous March opening record with the sequel, Ice Age: The Meltdown, which Saldanha directed by himself. He would later direct the 2009 sequel, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Desiring a change of location after directing three films set in icy locales, Saldanha's next project was the 2011 film Rio, which is set in Saldanha's hometown of Rio de Janeiro. Saldanha, who felt that Rio had never been fully portrayed on film, felt a responsibility to travel to the city with the other animators so that they could accurately capture Rio's unique environment and habitats. The movie grossed a reported $484 million worldwide.

In October 2012, Saldanha signed a five-year exclusive deal with 20th Century Fox to develop and produce animated and live-action projects.{{cite news |last1=Kroll |first1=Justin |last2=Abrams |first2=Rachel |date=October 25, 2012 |title='Rio' helmer Carlos Saldanha inks Fox pact |url=https://variety.com/2012/film/news/rio-helmer-carlos-saldanha-inks-fox-pact-1118061241/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121027013352/http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118061241 |archive-date=October 27, 2012 |access-date=October 26, 2012 |newspaper=Variety}} For this purpose, he formed in June 2013 a Fox-based production company named BottleCap Productions.{{cite news |last=Fleming |first=Mike |date=June 6, 2013 |title='Rio' Helmer Carlos Saldanha Sets And Staffs Up BottleCap Productions At Fox |url=https://deadline.com/2013/06/rio-helmer-carlos-saldanha-sets-bottlecap-productions-shingle-at-fox-515041/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130608154212/http://www.deadline.com/2013/06/rio-helmer-carlos-saldanha-sets-bottlecap-productions-shingle-at-fox/ |archive-date=June 8, 2013 |access-date=June 7, 2013 |newspaper=Deadline}} In 2014, Rio 2 was released, which he directed and co-wrote.

Personal life

Saldanha and his wife, mathematician Isabella Scarpa, initially lived in a studio apartment in Manhattan's Greenwich Village, but after their second daughter was born, they moved to Hoboken, New Jersey, where they had friends. They continue to live there with their children, Manoela, Sofia, Julia and Rafael. Saldanha, Isabella and their oldest daughter compete in the HOHA (Hoboken Harriers Running Club), a 5k race. Manoela and Sofia voiced a "porcupine-like critter" called "Molehog" in the film Ice Age: The Meltdown, directed by their father.{{cite news|last1=Lowe|first1=R.
