Walt Disney Animation Studios has outsourced animations on its upcoming six-part animated series, “Iwájú,” to Cinesite, a company headquartered in London with Canadian studios in Montreal and Vancouver.
Cinesite has previously worked with Walt Disney Studios on various live-action projects, such as 2011’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” and 2018’s “Mary Poppins Returns,” according to Cartoon Brew. However, the partnership marks the first time a visual effects company has collaborated on an animation outside of Walt Disney Animation Studios, which typically handles its animations in-house, per a statement by Cinesite.
