Eisner claimed that Toy Story 2 would not count towards the "original" film count of the agreement. Jobs announced in January 2004 that Pixar would not renew their agreement with Disney and would seek out other distributors for releases starting in 2006. In 2004, Disney Circle 7 Animation was formed as a CG animation studio to create sequels to the Disney-owned Pixar properties. In late January 2006, new Disney CEO Bob Iger and Jobs agreed to have Disney purchase Pixar which led to Disney closing Circle 7. In August 1996, Disney and Tokuma Shoten Publishing agreed that Disney would internationally distribute Tokuma's Studio Ghibli animated films.

Three overseas animation studios (Australia, Japan and Canada) were set up to produce the company's animated television series. As direct-to-video increased in importance, the overseas studios moved to making feature films. Disney Animation Australia (DAA), also DisneyToon Studios Australia, was a Disney animation studio located in Sydney. DAA was started in 1988 at the former Hanna-Barbera overseas studio in St Leonards, Sydney.

Disney began producing direct-to-video sequels of its Feature Animation productions, the first of which was the "Aladdin" sequel "The Return of Jafar". When "Aladdin" was selected as a possible candidate as an animated TV series (before the film's release), as with many animated series, the first three episodes were one multi-part story which Disney used as a potential 'family movie special' for the Friday night before the series' premiere. With work handed out to the Australia animation studio, the opening story was instead greenlit for a direct-to-video release. Thus with "Jafar" and its success, the direct-to-video unit, Disney Video Premieres, started. A second sequel, "Aladdin and the King of Thieves", provided work to both the Australia and Japanese animation units. Australia was assigned additional film sequels: "", "An Extremely Goofy Movie" and "".
