Sometime a company's work load can be quite large, and you don't want your best staff members ([[Disney]]'s Los Angeles unit) to waste their time on TV shows when said staff members are best off working on [[Disney Animated Canon|Major Movies]], and that's why the other studios are here.

== Walt Disney Animation Japan ==
The biggest of the non-North American units, WDAJ was founded by Motoyoshi Tokunaga (a Ex-[[T MsTMS]] producer) in 1988 after Disney bought out Pacific Animation Corp. (a studio mostly known for doing [[Rankin Bass]]'s [[Thunder CatsThundercats]]). However, the studio was shut down in 2004 as Disney was getting rid of their non-CGI animation units (yet the Los Angeles units were saved). After that most of their staff members went to work for [[Madhouse]], [[Studio Pierrot]] or [[Production IGI.G]]. the ones that went with Tokunaga went with him when he formed [[The Answer Studio]].
 
See also [[Tama Productions]], [[Nakamura Productions]], and [[Hanho Heung Up]], three studios often used by Disney Japan; Also see [[Spectrum]], Disney Japan's non-Disney based unit that lasted until 1998.
