News broke late today that DreamWorks Animation will formally close the doors of Pacific Data Images (PDI) after thirty years of producing such animated hits as Shrek 1-3, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, and providing visual effects for films like Minority Report, AI Artificial Intelligence, and Mission Impossible II. PDI will bear the brunt of the layoffs of more than 500 employees, with some DreamWorks Animation workers also getting their pink slips. The move will be effective immediately.
