DisneyToon Studios Closes its Doors
Fly with you all! I just found out about this news, and thought I'd fly over here to discuss it.
On Thursday, June 28th, it was announced that DisneyToon Studios would be closing. Although an explicit reason wasn't given for the closure, it's assumed that dwindling DVD and Blu-Ray sales as more people move to digital may have been the last straw. (It's also noted that this decision "had been in the works" for some time, and was made unrelated to the recent change in leadership over at Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar). Additionally, the untitled DisneyToon film in production, scheduled for release in April 2019, has been cancelled. (Click here to read the full article.)
For me, I can't say I knew this was coming, but I can't say that this came entirely out of the blue, either. Maybe I feel this way because DisneyToon went dead silent after Neverbeast's release, to the point where it wasn't even mentioned (not even casually!) at 2015's D23 event. Maybe it's because when they came back to D23 in 2017, they only briefly talked about their upcoming film (which was strongly hinted at becoming a Cars spin-off) and I lost interest in watching what DisneyToon was doing. In any case, it is sad to know the studio that created the Disney Fairies films, films I know a lot of us loved, has closed its doors.
What are all of your thoughts on this?
