Pixar Spinoff Cancelled

A sensational headline, and I apologise for that. Three and a half years after opening, Pixar Canada has been shut by the Disney-owned animation company. Pixar announced that, effective immediately, the satellite studio would cease operations, putting 100 employees out of work. According to Disney, "A decision was made to refocus operations and  resources under the one roof."

Pixar Canada had been set up with the mission statement to make to shorts based around existing Pixar characters, including many Car Toons, and the Partysuarus Rex Toy Story short. All Pixar operations will now operate out of the home office in Emeryville, California.
