Pixar Canada (stylized as P I X A R 🍁 C A N A D A) was a short-lived, wholly owned subsidiary of Pixar Animation Studios. It was located in Vancouver, British Columbia.[3] The studio was tasked to produce short films based on Pixar’s feature film characters.[4]
Pixar Animation Studios permanently closed Pixar Canada in October 2013, and laid off its approximately 100 employees to refocus Pixar’s efforts at its main headquarters in Emeryville, California.[2] The former studio space is currently Industrial Light & Magic’s studio in Vancouver.[5]
