Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure toppled sales records, becoming the best-selling video premiere title of the year. Walt Disney Television Animation also debuted two holiday-themed videos in November: Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse; and Recess: Miracle on Third Street, both based on the popular animated television series. In 2002, video releases are scheduled for sequels to Cinderella and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Currently in production are video premiere sequels to Tarzan® and 101 Dalmatians.

The theatrical release of Recess: School's Out displayed the Television Animation division's ability to develop franchises from existing properties. The television series, on which the film was based, is now in its fifth season on ABC and remains the top-ranked show within Disney's One Saturday Morning lineup, as well as the number-one show in the Disney weekday syndicated animation block.

Disney's Lloyd in Space and Disney's House of Mouse premiered on ABC in spring 2001. In the fall, Disney's The Legend of Tarzan debuted on UPN and in national syndication. The animated series tells the further adventures of Tarzan and Jane and introduces a number of new characters.

In February comes the theatrical release of Return to Never Land, the sequel to the 1953 animated classic, Peter Pan, which tells the tale of Peter Pan's encounter with Wendy Darling's daughter, Jane.

Walt Disney Television Animation promises another outstanding lineup of animated series in 2002. Disney's Teamo Supremo will premiere on ABC and Disney's Kim Possible will launch on Disney Channel. Teamo Supremo follows the adventures of a quirky triumvirate of young superheroes who battle the forces of evil. Kim Possible is a high-school sophomore who can transform herself into an action heroine.
