Disney Shuts Down Animation House Disneytoon Studios
Disney is shutting down Disneytoon Studios - the animation house behind many direct-to-video releases and the Planes theatrical movies.
"After much consideration, we have made the decision to end production activity and close Disneytoon Studios," said a Disney spokesperson.
The Glendale-based Disneytoon Studios focused on spin-offs and sequels of Disney's hand drawn animations, with titles like Bambi II, Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch and Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time.
The news of the Disneytoon shut-down comes as the studio's animation side is undergoing changes.
Earlier this month it was announced that Pixar co-founder and Walt Disney Animation's chief creative force John Lasseter would be leaving the studio after a six month leave of absence following workplace-related "missteps."
Pete Docter and Jennifer Lee were named chief creative officers of Disney’s animation divisions, with Docter stepping up at Pixar Animation Studios and Lee heading up Walt Disney Animation Studios.
