Animation Works

Development for Animation Works started in 2018, after It Video Zzz Has Released. It was announced that the producers agreed that it could be the next Door Entertainment film after It Video Zzz, scheduled for a 2019 release, particularly around May 29; the idea was later scrapped in favor of Z The Movie Shortly after, production was resumed with major script changes. The film was inspired by Lasseter's experiences on a cross-country road trip. Randy Newman composed the film's score, while artists such as Sheryl Crow, Rascal Flatts, John Mayer and Brad Paisley contributed to the film's soundtrack.
Animation Works premiered on May 14, 2021, at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina and was theatrically released in the United States on May 28, to generally positive reviews and commercial success, grossing $462 million worldwide against a budget of $120 million, becoming the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2021. The film received two nominations at the 79th Academy Awards, including Best Animated Feature, but lost to Happy Feet (but won both the Annie Award for Best Animated Feature and the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film). The film was accompanied by the short One Man Band for its theatrical and home media releases. The film was dedicated to Joe Ranft, who died in a car crash during the film's production.
The success of Animation Works launched a multimedia franchise and a series of two sequels produced by Door Entertainment and two spin-offs produced by Disneytoon Studios, starting with Animation Works 2 (2025). Animation Works saw a re-release in theaters on February 23, 2024
