Work Around Town 2020 -- #2

Part 2 of "Work Around Town 2020". This post is a work in progress, and will change as new information comes in.

Disney Television Animation --

Located in Glendale and Burbank, California, the Disney TVA was founded in 1984 (at the dawn of the Michael Eisner-Jeffrey Katzenberg era); DTVA currently has three locations in two Southern California cities. A few years ago, decisions were made to cap the number of Disney small-screen shows done in-house, and several series are now done by sub-contractors (see below).

Elena of Avalor -- from 2016 -- ongoing

Duck Tales -- reboot from 2017 -- ongoing

Big Hero 6: the Series -- from 2017 -- ongoing

Big City Greens -- from 2018 -- ongoing

Fancy Nancy -- from 2018 -- ongoing

Muppet Babies -- reboot from 2018 -- ongoing

Amphibia -- from 2019 -- ongoing

Disney TVA's Los Angeles Subcontractors

Rough Draft Animation Studios

RDS, Inc. was founded in Van Nuys, California in 1991. Currently it has studios in South Korea where it functions as a major overseas production facility, and a second studio on the Glendale-Burbank city line. (For many years its L.A.-area studio was located on Brand Boulevard in Glendale.)

Big City Greens -- from 2018 -- ongoing with Disney TV Animation

The Owl House -- from 2020 -- ongoing with Disney TV Animation

Wild Canary Animation --

Started in 2008, Wild Canary Animation is located on Riverside Drive on the Burbank side of Toluca Lake. It's a long-time subcontractor for Disney Television Animation, previously producing Sheriff Callie's Wild West, Miles From Tomorrowland, and Puppy Dog Pals for the Mouse House.

Mira, Royal Detective -- from 2020 -- ongoing with Disney Jr.

The Chicken Squad -- from 2020 -- ongoing with Disney Jr.

The Rocketeer -- from 2019 -- ongoing with Disney Jr.)

Addendum: Animation production in Southern California continues to roar along, much of it driven by streaming companies who have elbowed their way into the business. This has caused older studios to sign key talent to exclusive, long-term contracts, something that hasn't occured since the 1990s.

As of last summer, Disney has signed a multitude of artists and writers to contracts. They include Bruce Smith (The Proud Family), Jeff Howard (Planes), Kate Kondell (The Pirate Fairy), Stevie Wermers (Prep & Landing), Kevin Deters (Prep & Landing), Howy Parkins (The Lion Guard), Amy Higgins (Star vs. The Forces of Evil), Devin Bunje and Nick Stanton (Prince of Peoria), Noah Z. Jones (Pickle & Peanut), Mike Roth (Regular Show), John Infantino (Star vs. The Forces of Evil), Jeremy Shipp (Kung Fu Panda), Ryan Gillis (Pickle & Peanut), Steve Marmel (The Fairly OddParents), Natasha Kline (Big City Greens) and Sabrina Cotugno (The Owl House).
