Disney Set to Close Animation Studio Monday
Source: Reuters, IMDb Saturday, January 10, 2004
Disney is expected to close its feature-animation studio in Orlando,
Florida, on Monday, jeopardizing the jobs of nearly 260 animators.
Some artists will be transferred to Burbank, California,
where Disney's corporate headquarters is located, but most of the employees,
whose credits include the films Brother Bear and Lilo & Stitch,
are expected to lose their jobs.
Disney was a pioneer in hand-drawn animation, producing classic movies
such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella and Fantasia.
In recent years, however, computer-generated animation
has become increasingly popular as evidenced by movies
like 2003's Finding Nemo, made by Pixar Animation Studios.
In related news, a number of those animators who were let go
have formed their own company, Legacy Animation Studios,
and announced Thursday that they plan to set up shop in Winter Garden,
Florida later this month.
"We believe that traditionally animated films are still a viable form
of entertainment," Legacy's directing manager, Eddie Pittman, said.
"Our goal is to create quality animated films with compelling stories a
nd strong characters and to continue Walt Disney's legacy
of hand drawn animation."
