StudioLAB

StudioLAB, also known as Disney's StudioLAB, is a privately owned entity operating under its parent company, Walt Disney Studios, and headquartered in the US. Founded in 2018, the company has approximately 50 employees and reported $19.4M in revenue as of 2025. Specializing in media managed services, StudioLAB functions as the advanced development and technology innovation division of The Walt Disney Studios. Launched in July 2018 and operating from a dedicated 3,500-square-foot facility within the old Animation building on the Burbank studio lot, the entity acts as an internal collaborative incubator rather than a consumer-facing production house. It is tasked with bridging the gap between corporate creative teams and the global technology sector to advance the mechanics of cinematic storytelling. The division establishes strategic innovation partnerships with enterprise technology firms, including Accenture, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), T-Mobile, and Deloitte, to research, prototype, and scale emerging digital capabilities. Its focus areas span high-speed 5G production pipelines, virtual reality (VR) pre-visualization workflows, real-time interactive rendering tools, and cloud-based asset deployment systems, all engineered to enhance creative productivity and optimize physical filmmaking processes across Disney’s primary studio banners.
