Disney Shuts Down 2D Animation Studio
sofakingl writes "As mentioned in this Slashdot article, Disney has been planning to shut down their 2D animation studios. Just recently, Disney shut down their Florida studio, with some animators transferred to Disney's Burbank studio, and others being left out of a job. This has brought criticism from Roy Disney, the nephew of Walt Disney. And to top it off, Disney may be facing new competition from Legacy Animation, a new animation studio that was formed by ex-Disney animators."

Twenty more years, and they'll let him out of the water tower!
Nah, that's the Warner Brothers, Yakko and Wakko, and of course the Warner Sister, Dot. They escaped the water tower in the mid-90s.
Beavis and Butthead do America - think it mae around $80 million which isn't too shabb
No, it made $63,118,386
South Park Movie - also did around the $75 million mark.
No, it made $52,037,603
Name three more. I dare you. Non-children's animated feature films very rarely get made in America.
There's Heavy Metal. I think Aeon Flux deserves a mention. Even though it was never a feature film, it was a whole different class than The Simpsons.
Software Wars
Someone mentioned "Fritz the Cat", but didn't point out that it was a huge hit at the time, esp. for an "underground" animated film.
$25 million isn't much today, but in 1972 that's quite the take (recoup-ing production + marketing costs over 25-times over is never too shabby!)
The Road To El Dorado was done by Dreamworks.
