Post subject: Disney 2-D Animation II: The Vengeance (UPDATE)
A group of former Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida animators have banded together to open Legacy Animation Studios, a new animation production studio in Winter Garden, Florida, close to Orlando in late January 2004. The studio will offer a full-range of traditional hand-drawn animation services for film, television, and commercials. Legacy will also be dedicated to developing original properties for television and film as well as produce its own feature film project.
"We believe that traditionally animated films are still a viable form of entertainment," says Legacy Animation Studios directing manager, Eddie Pittman. "Our goal is to create quality animated films with compelling stories and strong characters and to continue Walt Disney’s legacy of hand-drawn animation."
The combined experience of the Legacy team amounts to more than 25 animated films, including The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Mulan, and Lilo & Stitch.
Pittman has worked on such animated features as Mulan, Tarzan, and Lilo & Stitch. He has taught for the renowned Computer Animation program at Ringling School of Art and Design, and his popular drawing classes taught around Central Florida the Disney Florida studio recommended to aspiring animators. Recently, he produced and directed Legends of the Night Sky: Orion, the world’s first full dome (360°) traditionally animated movie.
Veteran assistant animator David Nethery is on board as creative director for Legacy. Nethery has nearly 20 years of experience as an animation artist. His credits include such characters as Meeko from Pocahontas, Mushu from Mulan, Cobra Bubbles from Lilo & Stitch, and, most recently, Tug and Koda's mother from Brother Bear.
Legacy has three projects in development, including a short film that will begin production in late January 2004. For more information contact Pittman at (407) 538-8938 or via e-mail at eddie@legacyanimation.net.

UPDATE:
The recent closing down of Disney's Animation Studios have created not one, but TWO, new animation companies.
Raven Moon Entertainment, Inc. has formed a new animation company called Raven Animation, Inc., with plans to target former Disney/MGM animators that recently lost their jobs on Jan. 12 because of the closing of Disney's animation operations at Disney/MGM studios in Orlando, Florida.
"Because of the new animated television programs that Raven Moon has set for development in 2004, including the award-winning Mr. Bicycle Mam, The Bobo Blocks, and The Cuddle Bug Cousins, picking up these out of work animators is a good move for Raven Moon," stated Raven Moon CEO Joey DiFrancesco. "Our company is growing and expanding and these former Disney/MGM animators will definitely be an asset to our company."
"We believe that Raven Animation will be able to produce high quality animated projects from our studio in Orlando at a fraction of the cost that many of the Hollywood-based production companies are paying," added Mike Gibilisco, director for Raven Animation and Raven Moon Entertainment.
Raven suggested that the new animation company would serve as a revenue source from other entertainment companies looking for quality animation at a lower cost.
Raven Moon Entertainment is currently in production and syndicating 15 episodes of the Gina D.'s Kids Club series. For more information on Raven Moon Entertainment, visit http://www.ravenmoon.net.
