Talk:DisneyToon Studios
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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)
