New overseas animation studios Disney should open

[Elijah Abrams]

Since opening Walt Disney Animation Studios Vancouver, and that studio’s first project, the Moana TV series, being turned into the theatrical film Moana 2, I think The Walt Disney Company should open up some new overseas animation studios, just like they did in the 80s and 90s (though the former Australia, Japan, and France studios were acquired ones), allowing them to return to animating TV shows in-house, but still overseas (some shows would also continue to be animated by a third-party overseas studio).

Here are my ideal studios:

• Walt Disney Animation Studios India and Walt Disney Animation Studios China
  • Satellite studios of WDAS, specializing in both 2D and CG. They provide additional services to WDAS films, handle outsourcing for WDAS-produced TV shows, and each/both may have the potential to make films in-house.
• Pixar India and Pixar China
  • Satellite studios of Pixar, handling outsourcing for Pixar shorts and shows, along with providing additional animation for Pixar films.
• Disney Television Animation India (formed from the ashes of DQ Entertainment)
  • Overseas outsourcing studio for Disney TVA shows, specializing in both 2D and CG (but mainly the latter).
• Disney Television Animation China (formerly Synergy Animation)
  • Overseas outsourcing studio for Disney TVA shows, specializing in both 2D and CG.
• Walt Disney Animation Philippines
  • Overseas outsourcing studio for Disney TVA shows, specializing in 2D. Consists of former Snipple, Toon City, and Top Draw staff.
• Walt Disney Animation Korea (formerly Sugarcube)
  • Overseas outsourcing studio for Disney TVA shows, specializing in 2D.
