I just heard form a firend of mine who is a matte painter for Disney that Disney just fired everyone in their animation department, matte painters, 3d, everyone. I guess since they own Pixar now they had no more need to have their own people. |

Give me some Looney Tunes, Harvey Toons, old Warner Brothers and some Popeyes anyday. Speed Racer was the beginning of the end (extreme short-cut animation). Computer generated animation is fantastic, granted, but then again, I like tube recievers. |

I think your friend either exaggerated or something got lost in the translation. Disney actually only laid off 32 people. The story is HERE. Of course, that doesn't mean there won't be more lay offs in the future. To Disney's credit, they say they will assist those being laid off in finding new jobs. |

Foamy, I'm with you. Bugs for President. Seriously, though, I hope Disney doesn't lay off anybody else. How awful...I know lots of people figured there'd be fallout from the Dis/Pix thing, I think they just figured Pixar people would lose out more harshly. Mebbe not... |
