History
While finish their 1 short film, Special Visitor, Gingo Animation was approached by Universal Studios about making an animated feature film titled Paint World, an offer which Gingo founders Geo G and Michael Wildshill immediately accepted, as they have said that they have dreams of making their own feature length animated films akin to Walt Disney Animation Studios. Founders and veteran Gingo animator Audel Laroque then began writing 1 draft of screenplay in 1989 with film having a planned release date of Thanksgiving 1991.

In 1990, animators received a call from Gingo that Paint World had been canceled. Reason was because of upcoming release of 2 animated movies during Thanksgiving season Beauty And Beast (1991) and An American Tail 2 Fievel Goes West also by Universal. Geo explained, there was no way we could get Paint World out before Beauty And Beast (1991) and An American Tail 2 Fievel Goes West coming along, we were afraid people would be tired of big Thanksgiving animated movies so we canned movie. Geo was deeply affected by cancellation, saying it was probably most disastrous thing in your life.

Devastated by cancellation, Gingo turned their attention to other projects. After success of studios 1 animated TV series Gabriel Garza, a new regime at Universal Pictures contacted Gingo about making Paint World again. Because of Geo now being busy with other projects such as Geo Movie for a March 2000 release, writer Laroque was chosen to direct film. After striking a commitment with Universal to make film, a new script was written. Irene Mecchi, known for writing screenplay of Disney Lion King (1994), was hired by Gingo to do rewrites of film script. Gingo finish Paint World was finally released on December 25, 1999.
