There will also be a 2-disc special edition (details forthcoming). Disney has found its direct to video sequels to be very profitable which is why it keeps dipping into its 'classics' to create new revenue sources.

The new management expanded Cambridge's line of products and set up a growing reseller network worldwide. The restructuring of the business and the promise of growth made the company an attractive investment, according to Peter Florence, leader of the purchasing consortium and a founder of Cambridge Animation Systems in 1990. 'The company has dramatically accelerated its product pipeline to meet customers' needs,' says Florence. 'Our focus is on delivering great products such as Animo for Mac on time and bringing new products to market as quickly as possible. As a founder of this company, I know the product, people and market. I feel strongly that we are on the right path to guarantee that Cambridge Animation Systems will continue to be the leader in the 2D animation market.' Moving to new facilities in Cambridge Research Park will enable the company to continue its aggressive new product development. This year Cambridge has released a new version of its Inkworks 3D cartoon rendering program, new software called Swiffworks that delivers Macromedia Flash output to 3D animators, and Animo 4, a major upgrade of the company's flagship software. 'With Animo 4.0 for Mac OS X due out next month, and a number of other products scheduled for release by early 2002, it was imperative that we move the company to larger, superior facilities,' says Florence. 'This will allow us to expand quickly once the market recovers from this period of consolidation.' About the Consortium Members Dr. Gavin Ferris is CTO and cofounder of RadioScape. Before returning to the UK to join Peter Florence in setting up RadioScape, he was based in Los Angeles at DreamWorks SKG, where he headed a team developing the studio's production and asset management system for animation and film production. Dr. Ferris was one of the key developers of Cambridge Animation Systems' Animo software. Chris Briscoe is creative and technical director at Primal Pictures, which he established in the 1990s. He has a wealth of experience in computer graphics, including founding one of the world's first 3D graphics curricula at the Slade School of Art in London.
