The Animation Guild Blog is reporting layoffs last week in DreamWorks Animation’s feature division.
According to a post on the blog, an estimated 40 to 50 employees were let go.
TAG business representative Steve Hulett writes that move comes because the studio didn’t have enough features requiring staff building front-end production elements, so employees in departments that were overstaffed were laid off and their contracts being paid out.

Another sad day in the Entertainment Industry, however I will not be surprised if these laid of Employees will immediately find work @ Paramount (ramping up its animation division) or Sony
Paramount – not in LA.
Sony – not in LA.
