After working on Fantasia/2000 and the Direct-to-video feature at Disney, he went to Manila, Philippines to start the independent animation studio ImagineAsia.^[1] The company was shut down after failing to attract business, but in January 2002 Lovegren hired back around twenty animators that had been employed there to work on the 2005 animated film Hoodwinked!.

Hood vs. Evil.
