Fox Animation was an Italian TV channel under the ownership of Fox Networks Group Italy, dedicated to showcasing animated series originating from Fox. It first appeared as a temporary pop-up channel on Fox +2 during the holiday seasons of December 2012 and 2013. On 1 November 2014, it transitioned into an independent channel, taking over the slot previously held by Fox +2.
The channel provided broadcasts in both Italian and English languages and was included in a lineup alongside sister stations such as Fox, Fox Crime, Fox Life, Fox Comedy, and Fox Retro. Additionally, it featured timeshift versions named Fox Animation +1 and +2.
Operations for Fox Animation ended on 1 October 2019 following the expiration of Sky Italia's distribution contract with The Walt Disney Company Italy. The closure happened concurrently with the discontinuation of several other channels, including Disney XD, Disney in English, Fox Comedy, and Nat Geo People.
