Circle Seven Animation (or Disney Circle Seven Animation) was a short-lived division of Walt Disney Feature Animation specializing in computer-generated imagery (CGI) animation and was originally intended to create sequels to the Disney-owned Pixar properties, leading rivals and animators to derisively nickname the division "Pixaren't".[1] The studio did not release any films during its existence, nor were any of its scripts used by Pixar.[3][4]
The division was named after the street where its studio was located, Circle Seven Drive in Glendale, California which is also home to KABC-TV.[1][5]
Due to Disney's purchase of Pixar in January 2006, on May 26 of the same year, Disney shut down Circle Seven Animation, and transferred about 136 out of the studio's 168 employees to Walt Disney Feature Animation, which was renamed Walt Disney Animation Studios in 2007, and the planned Pixar sequels (which included Monsters Inc. 2: Lost in Scaradise, Finding Nemo 2 and the Circle Seven version of Toy Story 3) were cancelled following Circle Seven's closure.
