Dream Quest Images, later known as The Secret Lab, was an American visual effects company, co-founded in 1979 by Hoyt Yeatman, Scott Squires, Ohio native Rocco Gioffre, Fred Iguchi, Tom Hollister and Bob Hollister.[1]
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.[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, but it only shut down once its artists finished their work on Reign of Fire and Kangaroo Jack.[8] [9]
