Disney has decided to shut down Pixar Canada in Vancouver, Canada. This has eliminated about 100 jobs.
Disney spokesperson Barb Matheson said “A decision was made to refocus operations and resources under the one roof, Staff were just told today. Not great news, obviously.”
Disney originally went to Vancouver by tax incentives, and this closure is because of British Columbia incentives were not as good as those being offered by Ontario and Quebec.
It is a possibility the magical mouse house might look at Ontario or Quebec as new spots for a Canadian studio. However a Pixar spokesman dis not want to comment on that possibility and released the following statement: “The team at Pixar Canada is incredibly talented and we are so proud of the excellent work we have produced there. However, as we look at the creative and business needs of our studio, we’ve made the decision to refocus our efforts and resources under one roof in Emeryville and will be closing the studio in Vancouver.
Pixar Canada has produced several shorts for the studio, including “Air Mater,” “Small Fry” and “Partysaurus Rex” since 2010. Operations there will shut down immediately.
