What has happened with Disney Toon America? The article says that Disney Toon Australia was closed down, but doesn't say anything about the American version. Or was it simply poorly worded so as to look like the phrase only pertained to the Australian studios, but actually addressed both? --Matt T. 08:50, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

There is more on Disney closing mentioned here closing the last of the 2-D animation. Pixar and 3-d animation are now the standard for animation in the USA. One of the last Disney units called Circle Seven Productions was set to compete with PIXAR and closed after the purchase by Disney.

I can't find a link to it, but the history of the name circle 7 is the street where the studio was located. Circle 7 was the name for in-house production for owned and operated ABC television before purchase by Capital Cities Broadcasting which later sold to Walt Disney Company.

Each of the Stations have the logo of the Circle 7 including WABC-TV New York, WLS-TV Chicago, KABC-LosAngeles, and others they owned at the time. If you look at the logo of the station, it is easy to see the source of the name. All station news anchors were required to wear matching Circle 7 blazers. Later replaced with a lapel pin sometime in the 1980's.

[edit] 2 or II in Movie Names

  • I find interesting how many times the names change each direction. I know that the box from the DVD state Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure, and The Fox and the Hound 2. Yet it continues to change on this page.Kidsheaven 23:52, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
  • The use of Arabic or Roman numerals on a film title is done on a case by case basis and chosen primarily for aesthetic reasons. During internal production almost all titles use Arabic numbering because they cause less confusion when represented digitally. Also, many of the DTS titles that do not have numbers in their titles are referred to numerically during production because the final title may not be determined until late in the production. As far as use here is concerned, the title on the box should be considered canon, and sadly will not be consistent from title to title. Sorry. 204.128.192.3 19:38, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with Walt Disney Animation Australia

The two studio have the same history and are explicitely the same... so could we merge them ? --Gdgourou 08:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Return of Jafar (1994)

Closing titles say it was produced by Walt Disney Television Animation, not DisneyToon Studios. Producers are Alan Zaslove and Tad Stones (both known for Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers and Aladdin (TV series)). Remove from list? Alone Coder (talk) 15:58, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp was produced by Walt Disney Television Animation too. I remove both. Alone Coder (talk) 00:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
