Titan A.E. is a 2000 American animated science fiction action-adventure film directed and produced by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman. The film's title refers to the spacecraft central to the plot, with A.E. meaning "After Earth". It stars the voices of Matt Damon, Bill Pullman, John Leguizamo, Nathan Lane, Janeane Garofalo and Drew Barrymore. The film's animation technique combines traditional hand-drawn animation and extensive use of computer generated imagery. Its working title was Planet Ice. The film was theatrically released on June 16, 2000, by 20th Century Fox. It was the last film to be made by Fox Animation Studios before its closure. The film grossed $36.8 million on a $75–$90 million budget, making a $100-million loss for 20th Century Fox.
In 3028 A.D., humanity has mastered deep space travel and interacted with several alien species. A human invention called "Project Titan" alarms the Drej, a pure energy-based alien species. As the Drej start to attack Earth, Professor Sam Tucker, the lead researcher for "Project Titan", sends his son Cale on one of the evacuation ships with his alien friend Tek while Tucker and other members of his team fly the Titan spacecraft into hyperspace. When the Drej mothership destroys Earth and the Moon with a massive directed-energy weapon, the surviving humans become nomads, generally ridiculed by other alien species.
