Walt Disney Animation Japan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walt Disney Animation Japan was an animation studio located in Japan that worked on both feature length Disney films and television series, founded by ex-employees of Tokyo Movie Shinsha. In contrast with Walt Disney Animation Australia, Walt Disney Japan's expertise was attention to action scenes as opposed to facial expressions and emotion. As a result, often on direct-to-video Disney films, Walt Disney Australia would be used for the comedic scenes and Walt Disney Japan would be used for the action sequences. This is evident in both The Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Thieves. Walt Disney Japan closed in 2004.
