Credit to Disney for going out and buying the best computer animation studio out there, Pixar. That move will help Disney return to its position as the king of animation. But if they really want to make it to the top in all forms of animation, there’s one more top-flight "animation studio" out there that Disney needs to be partnering with, Weta Workshop in New Zealand.
TV One in New Zealand is announcing a new deal between Peter Jackson’s (Lord of the Rings, King Kong) FX Studio, Weta, and Disney. Weta Digital has previously partnered with Disney on the new Walt Disney Pictures Castle clip that will now roll before all new WDP films.
