Sacrifices made to keep 2D animation alive

This came from a small www.imdb.com article

Another group of animators who were laid off at Disney's Florida animation studio in January have opened a studio of their own. Five animators, who worked on such features as The Lion King, Pocahontas, Mulan, Lilo and Stitch, and Brother Bear announced Monday that they had mortgaged their homes in order to set up their own studio called Project Firefly at the Universal Studios theme park in Orlando. Another group of Florida animators fired by Disney in January had earlier announced that they had opened up shop in Winter Garden, FL as Legacy Animation Studio, with the intention of keeping Walt Disney's legacy of hand-drawn animation alive.

Looks like Walt's legacy is dead anyway cause apart from The Lion King all the others pretty much suck ass.
