Animation studios owned by The Walt Disney Company
The Walt Disney Company has owned and operated several animation studios since the company's founding on October 16, 1923, by Walt and Roy Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio; the current Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, California is the company's flagship feature animation studio and claims heritage from this original studio. Adding to the growth of the company and its motion picture studio division The Walt Disney Studios, several other animation studios were added through acquisitions and through openings of satellite studios outside of the United States. These expanded the company's animation output into television, direct-to-video, and digital releases, in addition to its primary feature animation releases.
Currently Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, DisneyToon Studios and Lucasfilm Animation are parts of The Walt Disney Studios unit. This article does not include other animation studios whose films were released by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures (the company's distribution unit) and not acquired by the company, nor does it count the Laugh-O-Gram Studio (1921–23), Disney's first animation studio, which predated the founding of The Walt Disney Company. For example, certain Studio Ghibli films were distributed by Disney internationally but never owned by the company.[1] Also, Miramax, a independently operating unit of the Walt Disney Studios, also purchased US rights to foreign animated movies.[2]

Dream Quest Images (DQI), later The Secret Lab, was an American special effects company that operated from 1980 to 2001.
Dream Quest was founded in a Santa Monica, California garage in [39] 1979.[37] The co-founders were Hoyt Yeatman, Scott Squires, Rocco Gioffre, Fred Iguchi, Tom Hollister and Bob Hollister.[40] Initial they did piecemeal work on Escape from New York, E.T., and One From the Heart,[40] The company then moved to Culver City. DQ Films, the company's television commercial production division, remained in Santa Monica. In 1987, DQI model-making operations moved into a Simi Valley industrial park with the most of the company following them to Simi Valley later.[39] The Abyss and Total Recall special effects works each earned the company an Oscars Award.[41]
The Walt Disney Company purchased the company in April 1996 and had the company moved to Burbank, California.[39] DQI was purchased to replace Buena Vista Visual Effects.[42] Soon after 1997, Andrew Millstein was appointed general manager of the company.[43]
Secret Lab
In October 1999, Dream Quest Images merged with Walt Disney Feature Animation computer-graphics operation to form The Secret Lab[44][37] with Millstein continuing as general manager and vice president.[43][44] DQI and DFA units were moved into a new location as Secret Labs, which was located at Disney's Northside facility on Thornton Avenue just east of the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport, a former Lockheed Corp.'s Skunk Works Building 90 until renovated for Disney animation in 1995. DQI's physical production facilities remained in Simi Valley.[44]
The Lab made only one computer animated film, Dinosaur, released in 2000.[44] After Dinosaur, the Lab and Disney Feature Animation started working on Wildlife which was canceled in September 2000.[45]
The Lab being passed over for Disney work (and general industry decline), led to the unit being closed in 2001. The Secret Lab's last work was for the Spyglass Entertainment film Reign of Fire and the Castle Rock Entertainment/Warner Bros. comedy Kangaroo Jack.[37] An artist at The Secret Lab purportedly confided to Harry Knowles of Ain't It Cool News that the studio was shut down by Disney when it proved too expensive.[46]

Pixar
Pixar Animation Studios, or simply Pixar (/ˈpɪksɑːr/, stylized PIXAR), is an American computer animation film studio based in Emeryville, California. The studio is best known for its CGI-animated feature films created with PhotoRealistic RenderMan, its own implementation of the industry-standard RenderMan image-rendering application programming interface used to generate high-quality images. Pixar began in 1979 as the Graphics Group, part of the computer division of Lucasfilm before its spin-out as a corporation in 1986 with funding by Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs, who became its majority shareholder. Pixar and Disney had a seven feature agreement that allowed Disney to distribute the films with Disney owing the character rights. With the success of Toy Story 2 in 1999, then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner and Pixar CEO Steve Jobs began to disagree on how Pixar should be run and the terms of their continued relationship.[33] Eisner claimed that Toy Story 2 would not count towards the "original" film count of the agreement.[48] Jobs announced in January 2004 that Pixar would not renew their agreement with Disney and would seek out other distributors for releases starting in 2006.[34] In 2004, Disney Circle 7 Animation was formed as a CG animation studio to create sequels to the Disney-owned Pixar properties.[33] In Late January 2006, new Disney CEO Bob Iger and Jobs agreed to have Disney purchase Pixar[49] which led to Disney closing Circle 7.[50]
Distribution deals
In August 1996, Disney and Tokuma Shoten Publishing agreed that Disney would internationally distribute Tokuma's Studio Ghibli animated films.[1] In 2002, Disney signed a four-picture deal with Vanguard Animation,[51] although, only one film was released under that negotiation.[52]

DisneyToon Studios[7] (Walt Disney Animation Studios) |
Disney Animation Australia (DAA), also DisneyToon Studios Australia,[59] was a Disney animation studio located in Sydney, Australia.[57]
DAA was started in 1988 at the former Hanna-Barbera overseas studio in St Leonards, Sydney. Initially, Animation Australia worked on various television shows including The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, Aladdin, Timon & Pumbaa, and Quack Pack. As staffing increased, the studio moved to Castlereagh Street.[58]
Disney began producing direct-to-video sequels of its Feature Animation productions, the first of which was the Aladdin sequel The Return of Jafar. When Aladdin was selected as a possible candidate as an animated TV series (before the film's release), as with many animated series, the first three episodes were one multi-part story which Disney used as a potential 'family movie special' for the Friday night before the series' premiere. With work handed out to the Australia animation studio, the opening story was instead greenlit for a direct-to-video release. Thus with "Jafar" and its success, the direct-to-video unit started. A second sequel, Aladdin and the King of Thieves, provided work to both the Australia and Japanese animation units.[3]
Australia was assigned additional film sequels: The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, An Extremely Goofy Movie and Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure. The company's first feature film was Return to Never Land in 2002 grossing over $100 million worldwide at the box office. In 2005, the studio produced three animated movies: Tarzan II, Lilo & Stitch 2 and Bambi II.[58]
Disney Animation Australia was closed in mid-2006 after finishing Brother Bear 2 and Cinderella III.[58]
