Here's some intresting news for all you Animefiles out there...

Walt Disney is to produce anime films in Japan in tie-ups with local studios to adapt to regional tastes, the company has announced. The first will be a short children's film about a robot, made jointly with Japan's biggest animation studio Toei Animation Company.

The company also plans to make a Japanese version of Lilo and Stitch.

All the movies will be made using local animation creators and computer graphics specialists.

Disney spokesperson Mariko Hisamitsu said: "We aim to provide products that match the taste of the local market.

"Disney characters are well recognised in Japan and we believe providing contents catering to consumers is necessary to expand the market."

The entertainment company's strategy has traditionally been to distribute the same US-made films around the world.

Interesting that their working with Toei - presuming this is because Miyazaki said he hates being called the "Disney of Anime"....

I'm slightly torn. I hate it when Japanese films are tailor made for the US market so naturally I am wary of making Disney films tailored for the Asian market. I am also curious to see what the character designs will be like: Disney style or Anime stylle?

I actually think Lilo and Stich is a perfect movie for the Anime style due to Stich's behaviour... It will work out well, rejoice! Or something...
