How to approach
Do not send a pitch by email. Their stated position is that unsolicited ideas are not opened or read for legal reasons, and that anything looking like a pitch is deleted, so a cold approach is not a long shot so much as a guaranteed non-event.
The route they do describe is a scheme. They say that if they run competitions or workshop schemes for submissions in future, details will be posted on their own website. For a studio of this size that is a real opening rather than a brush-off, so the useful habit is to check their site occasionally rather than to write to them.
The PreList verdict
Who this is for: nobody approaching cold today, and potentially a lot of people later. Blue Zoo close the inbox for legal reasons rather than snobbery, which is the standard reason animation studios do it: an unread pitch cannot later be said to have inspired anything.
Who should watch it: writers and creators with animation ideas for children and young audiences. Their own wording leaves the door ajar, saying they may run competitions or workshop schemes and will post details on their site. That is worth a bookmark.
Until such a scheme is running, treat this as a closed door with a published way of telling you when it is not. Chasing it by email in the meantime only confirms the reason the policy exists.
