The London-based studio will now focus all resources on pre- and post-production, with animation work to be outsourced to third parties.
Due to changes in the global entertainment industry, the studio known for ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars,’ which began as Lucasfilm Animation Singapore in 2004, will soon shutter its doors, eliminating over 300 jobs.
Doors will close sometime in April; 450 employees will lose their jobs as the studio behind the hugely successful ‘Ice Age’ franchise falls victim to the pandemic’s continuing economic impact.
Seventy-five employees laid off and productions shut down, effective immediately, as Disney closes down the Glendale production facility.
