Toei Joins Forces With the Dark Side
Dated: 6 Mar 2008
Boy, it’s not very often I get to use Forbes as a source. Nonetheless, the biz pub reports that Disney, in an attempt to reach the Japanese market, is partnering with anime juggernaut Toei to create three new TV shows using Toei’s CG technology (Pixar’s isn’t good enough?).
Disney will also work with Madhouse (yeeha!) and Jinni’s Animation Studios, who have done CG work for Reideen and Idaten Jump, among other TV shows, movies, commercials, etc.
As a result of the movie, Toei– who, if you didn’t know, brought us Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, Voltron, and Digimon, among others –saw its stocks rise 3.4%.
