The 2000's were an interesting time for the House of Mouse. On one hand, they revolutionized animation with Treasure Planet and Meet the Robinsons both using dual-animation to make hand drawn characters interact too near perfection with computer generated environments. On the other hand, movies like American Dog and Chicken Little didn't quite resonate as well with audiences compared to their previous films. Similar things could be said about their recent dives into sports ownership as while the Mighty Ducks have won multiple championships, the Chargers have mostly been a laughing stock to most football fans. Notable films currently in production at Disney include a movie based on Winnie the Pooh, a sequel to Tron and a live action remake of Alice in Wonderland directed by Tim Burton.

In a shocking turn of events, Cheryl Disney would end up starting her own company early on in the decade. The studio got off to a fast start with the release of Cars in 2006, which also marked the return of John Lasseter after his exit from Pixar. CTE has been steadily releasing several different films and TV shows since then, with hopes of a major rise similar to that of The Jim Henson Company. A Cars sequel is already set for a 2011 release, with both Newt and The Bear and the Bow also being released in the near future. However, supposed rumors of creative disagreement overall general mismanagement have plagued the studio since it's inception, but these can not be confirmed.
