Sources close to the Walt Disney Company tell o-meon.com that the popular feature animation production team of John Musker and Ron Clements will be returning to Walt Disney Feature Animation (WDFA). Musker and Clements, whose work as writers and director and producer includes The Little Mermaid, Hercules, and Treasure Planet, left WDFA last year after the studio refused to green light their latest feature animation project, Fraidy Cat.
In meetings held earlier this week at Walt Disney Studios, Ed Catmull, currently President of Pixar animation and soon to be the executive in charge of the newly formed Disney-Pixar animation studio, told staffers that both he and John Lasseter, who will be the new studio's creative head, want to focus their attention on the creative process at WDFA. Part of that focus involves the return of, at least, some of Disney’s lost creative talent as Catmull singled out the return of Musker and Clements to illustrate his point.
