I didn't say all of entertainment. I was very specific about the subsection of the industry.
Outside of DWA, WDAS and Pixar, the majority of animation and VFX work for feature and TV has moved to Canada or Australia.
Yes there are bigger entertainment industries in the US. That wasn't what I said, and you're getting hung up on some pedantic nonsense that is fully of your own creation.
- jollybean 4y ago"Outside of DWA, WDAS and Pixar, the majority of animation and VFX work for feature and TV has moved to Canada or Australia." This is the 'glib' bit - I don't believe for a second that there are more animation jobs in Canada, even outside the big studios. The US is 10x bigger, and, they have a lot of industry here. Again: More jobs per capita? Even 'way more'? Entirely reasonable. But 'more jobs than the US' - or notably: 'the focal point of the industry' - definitely not. It's important to recognize Canada is not 'leading' here so much as 'providing labour' - i.e. 'white collar auto assembly'. If Canada was producing, financing, exporting creative work, then it would be another kind of story.
