Disneytoon Studios

DisneyToon Studios Australia (see also Walt Disney Animation Australia ), formerly known as '''Walt Disney Television Animation Australia''', was a part of DisneyToon Studios based in Sydney, Australia . Originally one of several Disney television animation satellite studios, responsible for programs such as '' Goof Troop '', '' Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers '', and '' Bonkers '', DisneyToon Studios was the main producer of the many Disney Sequels and Direct-to-video films (among them most of the above-mentioned films, along with the theatrically-released '' Return To Neverland '', '' The Jungle Book 2 '', and '' Piglet's Big Movie ''). It was the last in-house Disney facility that produced Traditional Animation .

On July 25 , 2005 , The Walt Disney Company announced that it was closing DisneyToon Studios Australia in October 2006 , after 17 years of existence. The closing was attributed to the rising costs of animation production in Australia. DisneyToon Studios plans to produce its animated films, both traditional and computer-generated, primarily through Outsourcing in the future.

On February 23 , 2006 , due to new management brought on at Disney through the purchase of Pixar , all future films in production or due to go into production at DisneyToon which are ''not'' connected to a Consumer Products line are to be cancelled. This includes ''The Aristocats II'', ''Pinocchio II'' and ''Dumbo II''. Films to have survived this are ''The Little Mermaid III'', ''The Tinker Bell Movie'' and ''Cinderella III'', as they are connected to the Disney Princess and Disney Fairy lines.
