Disneytoons Studio Australia has been sacked — 250 animators — but this isn’t the most interesting thing. This is the studio behind the 2′s and 3′s — the sequel franchises — of the classic Disney motion pictures. They produced:

-Lion King 2, Jungle Book 2, Lady and the Tramp 2, Brother Bear 2, Aladdin 2, Peter Pan 2, Tarzan 2, Lilo and Stitch 2 and of course, Bambi 2.

Disney lays off loads of animators in a general trend away from 2D animation and the whole animation industry–but it seems that they’ve given the whole sequel franchise the boot as well. Or maybe they’ve just consolidated it to the other animation studios they still have. Either way, I’m right.
