Pixar Canada general manager Amir Nasrabadi said the company’s goal was to employ 75 people by 2012. The studio is currently operating out of a 5,000-square-foot office in downtown Vancouver and is in negotiations to move up to a 20,000 to 25,000 square foot space in future.
Nasrabadi said he wasn’t sure if the studio would eventually produce full-length animated feature films.
Pixar, which was purchased in 2006 by the Walt Disney Company for a reported 7.4 billion dollars (US), has won 24 Academy Awards over the years for such blockbusters as Toy Story, Finding Nemo and Cars, among others.
It will release Toy Story 3 in July and Cars 2 in the summer of 2011.
Pixar Canada plans to begin production of its first animation offering beginning in August.
