Pixar to make short films in Vancouver
Pixar Canada will use the new studio it opened in Vancouver on Tuesday to create short-format films, including three to five-minute cartoons for cellphones and other digital media.
It is the first Pixar studio outside of the U.S. Pixar general manager Amir Nasrabadi said the animation studio settled on Vancouver because it has an existing talent pool, is in the same time zone as California and offers tax breaks to the film industry.

Located in beautiful Vancouver BC, Pixar Canada's mission is to produce animated shorts and television specials, featuring characters from Pixar's prior films.
Dammit Toronto. We need to do more to attract more business like this, instead of continual navel gazing and bureaucratic self-flagellation.

This is good news for Vancouver, no doubt. The film industry here has been in a bit of a rut of late; we can use all the new business we can get. Not that Pixar is likely going to be employing a whole lot of IATSE folks, mind you.

Anyone know where to find the promotional video Pixar put out for Vancouver? I saw a brief clip of it on the news but don't see it on their site or Youtube (yet).
