Developed by
Walt Disney Imagineering , the new land was announced onJanuary 11 2005 byEuro Disney SCA , the owner and operator ofDisneyland Resort Paris , as part of a new initiative to add new attractions to both theme parks made possible by a major financial restructuring. The new creative director forWalt Disney Imagineering ,John Lasseter , has made it clear he is reviewing all concepts for attractions that have been definitely commissioned, and in particular the Toon Studio is an area he wants to expand upon.The Toon Studio concept is a spin-off of the
Mickey's Toontown idea. Mickey's Toontown is an area at three other Disney theme parks where guests can experience the living environments of Disney characters, whereas the Walt Disney Studios is being publicised as where the Disney characters 'go to work', producing their animated films themselves using conventional movie-making equipment.Attractions
