Toei Animation
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Toei Animation (東映アニメーション Tōei Animēshon) is a Japanese Animation (anime) studio owned by the Toei Company. Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, and Yoichi Kotabe have all worked with the company in the past. They have created a large number of TV series, and movies, many popular worldwide. Originally they were Japan's answer to Disney with many lavishly animated musical films produced from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. Competition from television forced Toei to adopt a style that is more standard in the current world of anime.
