The Walt Disney Company has closed its DisneyToon Studios in Australia. This move will cost about 250 jobs. DisneyToon Studios employees were informed of the decision Wednesday.
The popular studio made 'The Lion King II', 'The Jungle Book II' and The Lady and the Tramp II', among others. Disney Australia is also associated with titles like 'Brother Bear II', 'Aladdin II', 'Peter Pan II', 'Tarzan II', 'Lilo and Stitch II' and 'Bambi II'.
"It is with regret that DisneyToon Studios has decided to close their animation production facility in Sydney in mid-2006, in large part to the changing creative climate and economic environment in which DisneyToon Studios requires more flexibility to choose the most appropriate and efficient animation.", The company said in a statement.
DisneyToon Studios Australia started life in 1988 working mostly on television cartoons, such as "Winnie the Pooh," "Darkwing Duck," and "Duck Daze" but later graduated to work on animated movies such as "Return to Neverland," the 2002 sequel to the 1953 Disney classic "Peter Pan".
