History

After early piecemeal work on Escape from New York, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and One From the Heart,[1] Dream Quest expanded operations and earned back-to-back visual effects Oscars for work on The Abyss and Total Recall.[2][3]

In 1996, Dream Quest was purchased by The Walt Disney Company.[4][5] While Disney began development on Dinosaur, they decided to fold Dream Quest into Walt Disney Feature Animation and subsequently renamed it "The Secret Lab" in 1999.[2][6]

After The Secret Lab did the visuals of the 2000 animated film Dinosaur, a shuttering process begun, started by cancelling the animated film the studio was doing with Walt Disney Feature Animation, Wildlife.[7] The Secret Lab closed its doors in 2001,[2] but it only shut down once its artists finished their work on Reign of Fire and Kangaroo Jack.[8][9]
