Worldwide appetite for Hollywood-branded animation increases. What's your point?
Tweening some crap Panda movie in Canada doesn't mean they laid off the entire city of Glendale.
"Nothing but executive level positions remain at big studios" -- Really? This is the cherry atop your preposterous, cherry-picked rant. Thousands of amazing animators bleed in the 91xxx zip codes daily.
EDIT: tons of open job listings (search various sub-categories like 'Animator' if this is too broad for you).

Those aren't exactly dying steel town numbers.

They're bleeding because they can't find a steady job that pays them a living wage. There can only be so many small boutique studios before the market is saturated, and I expect we are already there. We're at a point that even the best animators the US can produce struggle to find reliable employment. It's a goddamn shame.

- tizzdogg 10y agoThere are only so many jobs to be had at ILM and Pixar, and its been a while since I've checked but I think ILM is mostly hiring for its studios in London, Vancouver and Singapore.
