The animation studio will focus on characters such as Buzz, Woody, McQueen and Mater from Pixar‘s animation movies such as Tom Story and Cars respectively.

"The process that will be carried out in the studio will dedicated to producing short-form computer animation for theme parks, DVDs, television and theatrical exhibition," says Disney/Pixar president Ed Catmull.

Pixar, headquartered in Emeryville, California will look after the 3D works.

Sequel and 3D version of the Toy Story will be distributed later this year. Up, the animation movie from Pixar, will be unveiled at Cannes Film Festival next week.
