== 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 [[Thundercats]]). 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 I.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.

== Walt Disney Animation Australia ==
Founded in 1989, the [[Useful Notes/Australia (country)||Australian]] unit is often known among the animation community for having very cartoonish and expressive animation, which they are still praised for.
 
Unlike the Japanese unit, however, the studio lasted longer-it became the main hub for Disney's [[Direct to Video]] sequels, a role originally fufilled by the Japanese unit.
