C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures was a Canadian film and television computer animation special effects studio, which branched out into fully animated television series and feature films. On March 15, 2010 the company
C.O.R.E. signed a production partnership deal with Radar Pictures.[1]
History[]
C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures was started in 1994 by John Mariella, Kyle Menzies, Bob Munroe and William Shatner.[1]
Its first and only animated feature film, The Wild, was distributed by Walt Disney Pictures.[1] It met with unfavourable critical and commercial reaction. With 400 temporary employees, The Wild had the largest production crew for a film made in Canada.
With a rising exchange rate as with most Canadian animation firms, C.O.R.E. was getting fewer jobs from America. So in March 2010, C.O.R.E. stopped operating and laid off their employees.[1]
