DreamWorks may cut jobs on film halt, says union

DreamWorks Animation SKG, producer of the Madagascar films, may fire as many as 20 per cent of its employees in Southern California after delaying the release of Me and My Shadow, a union official said.

The studio is considering cuts of 250 to 450 jobs from a staff of about 2,200 at its campus in Glendale, California, and an unspecified number at its Pacific Data Images facility in Redwood City, California, Steve Hulett, the business representative for the Animators Guild, said on Thursday.
