Animation fans will soon be treated to two new cartoons sprung from collaborations between Walt Disney Co. Japan and two Japanese animation companies, the local unit of the U.S. entertainment giant said Thursday.
Walt Disney Television International Japan, which is in charge of Disney's television business in Japan, will produce the features in cooperation with Japanese animation companies Madhouse Co. and Jinni's Animation Studios.
"I'm happy to announce our new effort in Japan, which has one of the strongest animation production technologies in the world," Walt Disney Co. Japan President Paul Candland said in a statement.
