VFX studio Motion Picture Company (MPC), responsible for the visual effects in Disney’s 2019 live-action The Lion King, is reportedly closing the shutters on its Vancouver office, as of this morning.
The Vancouver office even contributed to the redesign of the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog, which could be considered an act of public service.
This decision comes only months after the movie became the fourth Disney film to break $1 billion at the box office this year.
They have credits on other Disney remakes like The Jungle Book and Dumbo, as well as Blade Runner 2049, X-Men, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
