500 people lost there jobs, and they are gonna be outsourcing production to reduce the cost.

It isn't shutting down; it is having layoffs and reducing output to 2 films a year.

Looks like Over the Hedge 2 is never happening now.

Sad to hear about all the people who lost their jobs, I hope that they land on their feet. With some of their recent films "under performing" (How did HTTYD 2 and POM Under Perform if they made $600 Million and $275 Million Respectively ?), I doubt Home will be the success they need. In my opinion, reducing the budgets for their films might help.

That sucks. Animation has always been a risky business.

Hope they don't change their plans for HTTYD3.

They are gonna be outsourcing most of there productions.

Wtf... :ohwell: As if it isn't competitive enough. Outsourcing, what a kick to the stomach for the artists and those with dreams of getting in with someone like Dreamworks. Hell I'll prob never be working for a big company like that, prob took a lot for them to get in there... They have my sympathy.

Movie industry doesn't really have as much respect for it and the FX department as it should. (I know, lets kick Bay & co and outsource his/their job to someone better. Fair is fair, let it happen on all sides.)

No they're not. It said they're only outsourcing one movie in their future slate.

Man, that was my favorite movie for a couple of years. Still good.
