After three years open Pixar Canada is closing its doors, leaving 100 employees out of a job. According to some reports, Pixar has decided to focus its future work in Emeryville, California.
A statement
from Pixar had this to say about the subject:
"A decision was made to refocus
operations and resources under the one roof," Barb Matheson, a spokesman
for Pixar parent company Disney, said about the closing of the Vancouver
office. "Staff were just told today. Not great news, obviously. It was
just a refocussing of efforts and resources to the one facility."
"The
team at Pixar Canada has produced a wonderful slate of short films since
opening in 2010, including 'Air Mater,' 'Small Fry' and 'Partysaurus
Rex,'"
"As
the dynamics of the animation industry continue to change rapidly, we continue
to fine-tune our studio and its production processes. We have made the
determination to refocus our creative and business efforts and resources under
one roof. Pixar Canada will cease operations immediately."
