A Painter Story: The Lost World

***A Painter Story: The Lost World*** is a 2020 American computer-animated comedy-drama fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The 66th animated film produced by the studio, it is the long-awaited sequel to the 2001 film *A Painter Story*. Directed by Stephen J. Anderson from a screenplay by Don Hall, Jennifer Lee and Jared Bush and a story by Hall and Chris Williams, and produced by Clark Spencer, the film stars Matthew McConaughey, Drew Barrymore, Jerome Ranft, Idris Elba, Mr. T, Paul Rudd, Scarlett Johannson and Alyssa Milano. Set three years after the events of the first film, the film follows Abigail as she discovers a lost world hidden and she and Sidney are about to explore. However, when they discover that someone want to get it of the lost world, it's up to Abigail and Sidney to save it.

Unlike the first film, which it was animated by The Secret Lab, *The Lost World* is animated in-house at Walt Disney Animation Studios' main headquarters in Burbank, California, just like most Disney computer-animated films.

*A Painter Story: The Lost World* was originally set to be theatrically released in the United States on September 25, 2020. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the film was released direct-to-streaming on Disney+ and received generally positive reviews from critics. At the 92nd Academy Awards, the film was nominated for Best Animated Feature, but lost to *Soul*.
