Disney's sequel to its 1953 PETER PAN, which had been in production at Disney's Toronto and Vancouver
studios, has been put on hold, resulting in layoffs of animators and staff
at the Canadian studios. The rumors that the studios are being completely
shut down appear to be untrue at this time, but the total number of
employees who have been laid off is unknown. According to Laurel Whitcomb,
a Disney spokeswoman, the PETER PAN sequel "was in early stages of
production and needed to go back into development for retooling of the
story."
