History Creator / WaltDisneyAnimationUnits

* ''Disney/TheJungleBook 2'' - Done with Wang.

Sometime a company's work load can be quite large, and you don't want your best staff members (Creator/{{Disney}}'s Los Angeles unit, known today as Walt Disney Animation Studios) to waste their time on TV shows when said staff members are best off working on [[DisneyAnimatedCanon Major Movies]], and that's why the other studios are here.

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears'': From mid season 4 until the series's end, replacing Creator/TMSEntertainment.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'': One short "To Catch A Hiccup''.

* ''TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'': Later episodes, with Hanho and Wang.

* Los Angeles TV[=/=]DTV Unit (Creator/WaltDisneyTelevisionAnimation and Disney Toon Studios, respectively): The unit was founded in 1984 but did not boom until 1989 when they stop relying on TMSEntertainment, This is Disney's TV and DirectToVideo unit.

The biggest of the non-North American units, WDAJ was founded by Motoyoshi Tokunaga (an Ex-{{TMS}} producer) in 1988 after Disney bought out Pacific Animation Corp. (a studio mostly known for doing RankinBass's ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats'' and ''{{WesternAnimation/Silverhawks}}''). 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 Creator/{{Madhouse}}, Creator/StudioPierrot or ProductionIG. The ones who went with Tokunaga joined him when he formed Creator/TheAnswerStudio.

** ''Return of Jafar'' is frequently accused of this, though not so much for bad animation but an abrupt change in how the movie looks: Around the thirty minute mark, the animation abruptly switches from the Australia unit to the Japan unit, and remains that way for the rest of the movie. This causes much different looking animation in the second half than in the first half. (Trivia: The change occurs when Abis-Mal climbs over the palace walls.)
** ''Gargoyles'''s "Seeing Isn't Believing" is also guilty of this. Though it does make up for it with its [[AnimationBump fluid animation]].
** As well as the two Creator/FreelanceAnimatorsNewZealand sub-contracted episodes, ''Darkwing Duck's'' "Heavy Mental" and ''Goof Troop's'' "Meanwhile, Back at the Ramp".

Founded in 1989, the UsefulNotes/{{Australia}}n unit is often known among the animation community for having very cartoonish and expressive animation, which they are still praised for. The studio had a longer life than the Japanese unit; it became the main hub for Disney's DirectToVideo sequels, a role originally fulfilled by the Japanese unit. The Australian unit came to an end in 2006, due to rising costs for animation in Australia. Its role was once again succeeded by other studios used by Disney like ToonCity and SynergyAnimation.
